What Foods Should I Eat One Last Time B4 Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Pick a favorite and have it one last time.I used to LOVE Prime Rib. Now 1.5 years out beef other than ground does nothing for me and does not go down easy.

I had BBQ tri-tip for my last meal. I love steak and knew it would be a long time before I can have it again.

But what you whatever your favorite is, I would start there. Talk to your doctor to see if he can give you our post - op diet will be so you can see what you will miss the most.

I know the "last meal" is frowned upon but prior to starting my preop liquid diet, I ntend to go to my favorite restaurant and ordering butter and garlic roasted crab with a side of garlic noodles and washing it down with two glasses of red wine :)

I don't think there's anything wrong with last meals. I just hate seeing people going into this thinking they will never be able to eat X again. Once you're all healed up and through your graduated plan, you can eat anything that's tolerated, and there don't seem to be too many intolerances. So "last meal" becomes something more like "not for a while meal" or "last gross portion size" - and then it's just not as important. :)

I didn't have a last meal with my band (well, I had a last dinner before pre-op diet, and it was BLTs (I hate bacon so for me it was Tomato & mayo sandwich, which I LOVE) because I didn't really care and that's what DH wanted.) Before sleeve, the last thing I had before my pre-op diet started was my Sbux standard, because it has a LOT of sugar in it and I knew it would be a LONG time before I'd let myself have one again (and I love them, and had been having 3 - 5 a week in lieu of meals, and just wanted it a LOT). Last "meal" (not beverage)before sleeve was sashimi, which I still eat now, but it's what I wanted that night.

*shrug* I guess I'm not a real celebratory person. :)

The very last food to give me problems with my sleeve was BBQ ribs - up to almost 1.5 years out! So if I had to pick, I guess I would've had ribs. In reality, though, I just had a ton of chocolate, ice cream bars, and Kit-Kats.

Being from South Louisiana, I went for boiled crawfish. I know that I will be able to have them again next year, but I knew that was my last opportunity until next season. I also enjoyed the boiled potatoes, hot dogs, and dip that go along with it. :)

Yes but it will definitely be awhile before you return to normal things. Depends on what your favs are.... If I choose for you' date=' lots of pizza and cheeseburgers, and salad! That's what I miss the most.[/quote']

Joni my food soul-mate. Those are the 3 things I'm missing the most, too!

Sushi was my last grossly large proportioned meal pre op, now I can eat sushi again and it is delish, just can't eat a lot of it and I always have left overs..which is not a bad thing. It amazes me the proportion sizes they serve these days and the sizes I was serving myself. Crazy!! No wonder I had to have a surgery to lose weight. 50 pounds gone in a month, I'm ok with small portions. I can tolerate anything now, just no beef..ground beef stinks to me...yuck lol!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
