What Is Going To Be Your "last Meal?"



Recommended Posts

I find myself wanting stuff that I wont be able to eat after surgery. I haven't planned any last meals yet, but have noticed I've been allowing myself to eat things I would not have two months ago. I think I'm going to go out to dinner before surgery.. Something special, somewhere different.

I'm doing a low carb diet for 3 months prior to surgery (2 months left) so I've cut out a lot of stuff I usually indulge in. Still though I want to indulge a few last times but I don't want to wind up with what I've seen refered to as 'last meal syndrome' lol. I think my last big meal will be all you can eat sushi. I haven't done it in a while but sushi is my favorite thing ever and I know I won't be able to have it for a hole post op because of the rice so I do plan go over indulge a bit on that! ;)

Before I started the liquid portion of my diet, my SO and I went to PF Changs, and I had my favorite meal (crispy green Beans with spicy sauce) and a piece of chocolate cake.

Mine was to Outback and I had coconut shrimp appetizer, steak and lobster with a loaded baked potato! It was wonderful. I went recently and had the skewered scallops with grilled veggies and took more than half home for lunch the next day! I totally enjoyed it too!

I'm wondering whether I will or not. One of the reasons I'm doing VSG is that there are, technically, no food restrictions after recovery.

I feel like I've spent the last few weeks on last meals. I haven't really thought about the final one at all. :rolleyes:

I had Mexican food the night before my 2 week diet. I have 6 days left until surgery. My last meal is done!

Hmmm...It's going to have to be mexican. That's the one thing I think I'll miss most.

I'm having dinner with family and friends for 1 last "hoo-rah" where I can eat and drink "normally" :)....I do have these feelings that I need to make sure that I have my favorite Mexican, Chinese, etc. But when I think about it, I think....I've tasted it all, it's just food and at this point I'm tired of treating myself like a human garbage disposal. Looking forward to loving myself into healthiness and skinniness!!!

So true! I'm really pretty much over food. I'm really ready to move on with my life.

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

      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
