Eating Everything I Can, While I Can:(



Recommended Posts

Yes I did this...fell hard into last meal syndrome before the preop diet. My nutritionist saved me because if my surgeon would have been notified of the big gain he would have cancelled the surgery! :-( I reigned it in for the pre-op diet because I was soooo scared my liver would be too big for them to operate.

Thankfully it's been smooth sailing post op, but I'm honestly upset with myself for doing it because all it did was leave more weight to lose post op. I have a LOT to lose...I just added to it. For me especially, I feel silly because I haven't had any bad reactions to any foods and have no taste for most of the crap I was worried about missing.

Anyway, it definitely seems normal....lots of people post about it. Just be careful that it doesn't postpone your surgery.

A fatty liver will cause some surgeons to decline your operation. More fat weight usually means a much larger' date=' fatter liver that can more easily be damaged and/ or make the surgical process more difficult working around it.[/quote']

My surgeon will still do the operation but you have to sign a waiver beforehand- fatty liver= full incision. Bye bye tiny scars.

Not worth the risk of being sliced straight down the middle in my opinion.

I took advantage of the chance to lose some preop weight and I did! I stopped sugar and carbs months preop and I glad I did. It eased me into the small quality of food we can eat postop instead of having to go cold turkey.

      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.
