So I start my 10 day preop liquid diet Sept 6th...this coming Sunday....

I heard through the grapevine that my friends are throwing me a one last time drink...eat....bbq....free for all party for me.... Would it be terribly horrible if I induldge in a bunch of no no's a day before my liquid diet?

I know that Im not saying goodbye to my favorite foods forever....and I know that I will once again be able to enjoy those things that I love only in smaller portions at some point down the line.....but it still something I dont want to regret of feel guilty for doing....

Im getting invited to lunch almost every day this week lol.... everyone wants to like share that last meal with me... lol I dunno I want to enjoy myself... I just dont want to feel guilty doing it...:confused1:

I didn't have to do a liquid diet, but I had to do the high Protein, low carb thing for 7 days pre-op.

I had one last "hoorah" of all my favorites before surgery, and didn't feel guilty about it one bit. Most of my choices are not sleeve friendly, such as Pasta, mongolian noodles and tortillas, southern country cooking. I'm glad I did it.

I had my "food funeral" the day before I started my pre-op. Enjoy!

I ate at all my favorite restaurants before surgery. It was my final farewell to things that are not good choices for me now. I say go for it!!! I look back and think how could I eat so much? I am 2 weeks post-op and I have no regrets about eating before surgery. I just have to make better choices now, I am down 25 pounds as of today and walking farther than I ever thought I could! So happy I had the surgery!
