Last Meal Before Surgey?



Recommended Posts

I read on here but I can't recall the thread. A patient went to have her surgery in Mexico and the night before surgery her doctor allowed her to have a last meal of sorts. Is this something that is normal or was this just an exception?

I absolutely hate saying this, but I'd be so strict on pre-op and have a last day splurge while in Mexico.

LOL. Thats so funny because I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow and im tempted to eat one more meal before taking the dive. I've been on Clear Liquids now for 4 days and I can barely see straight.

You do not want any food in your stomach when they cut into it. That would probably cause problems.

might be too late for last meal if your getting operated tomarrow, but i went and hit all my favorite spots week up to my surgery. 24 hours before my surgery I went to favorite burger spot. but good luck tomarrow.

I had sushi the night before my surgery. I takes roughly 6 hours to empty ur stomach (unless u have gastroperesis) and since there is no rerouting of the intestines like in the bypass surgeries it should be okay. this is one of the reasons they say nothing by mouth after midnight. To give u that minimum of 6 hrs for stomach emptying. However I wouldn't go completely crazy eating and follow ur docs instructions!

Welllll, heres my confession, the week before I had my WLS, i had a few last meals :(

Got it out of my system :wacko: felt better, but pretty stupid after the fact.

Can't change the past, working on my continued successful future

My Dr. had me do liquids, Protein Drinks and Soup anything that was not solid for 24 hours before surgery. Guess they are all different on this too. Congrats on the surgery hope everything goes well!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
