Recommendations for last day of gluttony



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the last day before I begin my liquid only pre-op diet. Any suggestions on what I should eat? I know this may appear silly, but I have tried the past couple of weeks to not go crazy...and now I wonder if maybe I should have splurged a little more on some unfriendly sleeve foods.....

Chinese, hands down. I'll admit that is the one thing I do miss in large quantities.

It's just too greasy for me to tolerate. Most of the stuff I loved pre-op is all the fried stuff. Now, greasy stuff is just icky now.

I do eat the Mongolian grill noodles, but I still miss my peanut chicken, and enormous chicken egg rolls doused in dumpling sauce.

Ouch,, today was my first day on pre-op diet.. If I could just have one saltine cracker it would be heaven. During the day was not really a problem, but now I want carbs,, popcorn, crackers, SugarPops,, etc..

Well, I guess we can talk about all the yummy diet foods in a couple days when your diet starts..

I need to have 2 Protein shakes and one low carb/low fat/high Protein meal each day. I can supplement with green veggies and SF Jell-O.

It's only 2 weeks right? I can do anything for 2 weeks. Did I mention that two of my boys have birthdays between pre-op and my surgery??? All the cakes and ice cream. Ugh! Normally not so bad, but mixing up a Protein shake while they eat will be a good test of my resolve! :001_unsure:

My pre-op is 3 shakes a day and 64 oz of low cal beverages per day. That's it for 2 weeks before surgery!

I am sorry ... but remember, it's 14 days towards a new, healthier you. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!

Tonight we are doing burgers. On Tuesday's a local restuarant has 2 for 1 burgers. The kids thought it would be fun to have my "last meal" there. :)

My Pre-op diet is the Atkins two weeks before surgery, a colon cleanse 2 days before and Clear liquids until then. I would love to have one of my sons cheez-its. I was thinking that I would have a last meal the day before I do my colon cleanse. then Clear Liquids till surgery.

Do you think it will reverse all my hard work over the past two weeks?

I wouldn't take the chance, but then again I can be really disciplined if I have rules and directions to follow....

Personally I would see it as falling right back where you dont want to go. Keep with the good work, fight your way past it, you will feel better for it and you know it.

But if you have too, whats your all time fav food. Eat that.

I did this the week after Christmas, tried to say goodbye to my favorites. I had to have Claim Jumper Black Tie chicken Pasta and sliders from Chili's! It is definitely food like this that got me to this obese weight, so bad for you and full of fat and carbs. I was so sick of food by the end of that week that I was glad to get back to my 1500 calories a day gig. I only have to do 2 days of liquids for pre-op, and the doc said it was because I lost so much weight so far, so I didn't want to gain any by eating more. My surgery is 2 weeks from today, OMG!

Well my final day of gluttony consisted of buttered roll for Breakfast, ice cream for lunch and an eggroll and General Tso's Chinese food for dinner...oh and a diet coke....I'm not a big soda drinker, but I figured why not...I'm stuffed from dinner and looking forward to liquids and actually feeling hunger again......Thanks everyone for suggestions!!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
