So I start my liquid diet tomorrow and have my surgery on the 4/23 For me today is the end of one chapter and tomorrow is the beginning of another one. Needless to say I had to get my last being a slob moment in and just devoured a dozen donuts and a large coffee.

I was just wondering what was your last meals before surgery(not referring to life being over because of the surgery but one chapter closed)

I am inviting people to go out with me the day before I start my 2 week liquid diet... I think I am going to have my favorite finger food restaurant lol .. Famous daves....gonna pig out on their ribs and chicken...beans and rice and some Co'nbread... then I am going to have some cake or a brownie...

That is the plan for now. It may or may not change between now and May 8th. We shall see :D

I said that I was going to pig out in the weeks leading up to my surgery (or the pre op diet), but I have been doing just that... oh well...might as well leave this chapter with a bang right!!!!

I had a last meal before I did my pre-op diet as well. My husband and some friends went to Olive Garden and I got my chicken Alfredo...which I LOVE. I even topped it off with a slice of the lemon cake. I knew it was the last time I would have all that and I made sure I enjoyed it...lol. I don't see anything wrong with having a "last meal" as long as you are emotionaly ready for the journey ahead. My surgery was four days ago....and every day gets easier but it's not easy. The good thing is I don't miss foods yet as eatting anything or drinking anything is difficult. I watched my husband down a box of donuts and didn't even think about wanting one. That was pretty cool. I do miss flavors but I am sure by the end of the week I will get more foods in me that aren't just smoothies. Good luck with your surgery. I'm only four days out of mine and the thought of regret only came in once....when i was waking up from it all...only because the pain was really bad at first....since that thought in post-op...I haven't had one regret!!!

I had planned all these "last meals" but didn't get to go. It seemed the people who were supposed to go with me were more dissappointed than I was. I made up in my mind that once I got sleeved, on 3/21/12, I wouldn't let food bother me. When I get to the stage where I can have solid foods and basically no restriction, I will learn to eat in moderation. I can have my favorite foods again, just not as much. Yea eating a whole 12 inch sub the day before my pre-op would have lovely but I don't regret not doing it.

MMMMM I love Famous Dave's. I didn't get to hit them up before my surgery.

Anyhoo, my last dinner I went to Magianno's with one of my friends who is also in her phases of getting sleeved by her insurance. I had my favorite Lasagna and a margarita on the rocks. And I had a cookie for dessert. I was stuffed, I couldn't even finish my entre :(

I love that restaurant but hate going uptown or downtown..lol I always get them confused!!! But we went there for my sister's dinner and everything was included including liquor, we pigged out that night. Guess that is why I am the way I am now lol.

But hey, famous daves is gonna get it on May 7th!!!

I didn't really have a grand last meal, I just are whatever I wanted for the preceding month - if I felt like a KitKat or an ice cream bar, I'd just have one! Put on like 10 lbs in a month, lol.

I had Chili's ribs. Thinking that would be the last time for that kind of a meal. Well the other day I passed Chili's and thought "Wow, I still can have their ribs, it would just be like 3 - 4 meals now and it's protein!" But, I didn't even have the desire for them anyway. LOL -

I have to say, ribs were the single toughest food for me to eat post-sleeve. I'd be able to eat grilled chicken or a piece of steak no problem, but the second I swallowed 1 bite of BBQ ribs, I'd be in terrible discomfort. And that's like a year out! However, finally the last 2 times I had them, now that I'm 1.5+ years out, it was fine.

      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.
