"Last Supper"



Recommended Posts

Having surgery on monday and apart from total panic and angst I have today enjoyed my "last supper". I know I of course will be able to eat afterwards aswell, but still felt a need to serve a complete feast for dinner tonight. Champagne and shrimps for starters and beef tenderloin with potatoe gratin for main course, a really nice Amarone wine to go with it. Normal? I assume and hope so... :rolleyes::P

Tomorrow will be a day of excitement and I will most likely be a complete wreck of nerves. On top of trying to deal with all my feelings of death anxiety I will have to give myself an injection tomorrow night...something I have never done before....:-S

I wish I could fast forward until monday afternoon and I would be reassured that I would wake up after surgery and all went well.

What type of injection do you have to give yourself? That would scare me, too!

Hi,

The injection is a Fragmin self-injector, prescribed to be taken day before suregery and for 10 days afterwards. It's for preventing blood-clots. I'm hoping I will be alright with it tonight. It's a very small needle which is to be put into a very big belly - so should be ok. :lol:

My surgery is Nov 2nd and had my last supper last nite also being my 1yr wedding anniversary. I felt a nice seafood dinner would be good, so i had a half of a lobster tail, 4 scallops, 4 shrimp i was full from being on low carb diet last 3 weeks.

My restriction was different again from most i was just told not to eat after midnight on monday night, but i may opt to have a light Breakfast and Clear liquids on monday.

Im a little nervous but looking forward to a new start, im tired of being fat and the yo-yo weight loss and gain.

Good Luck to everyone on Monday looks like alot of people making a new start. Its time we finally do something for our selves!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
