Big Silly 11 Posted December 17, 2013 While the mindset I have on food consumption has changed greatly over the past year, I still want one last hurrah. I live on the Water and seafood is a staple. I know I am going to have to start my liver shrinking diet on January 7th, but the weekend before I think I am going to go out and order a softball sized crab cake, even if I can only get half of it down. Do you have a last meal you are going to eat before you start your pre op? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mid West 99 Posted December 18, 2013 Yep, I had a night out with friends and family and another just with a girlfriend; lobster, steak, wine, it was lovely :-) Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloreorbust 286 Posted December 18, 2013 My preop diet lol. It was Atkins induction style, which is heaven for me. I ate all the meat, cheese, and deviled eggs I could handle. Cheese is still my nemesis. I will make it an entire meal or two if it is in the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deaddemmama 474 Posted December 18, 2013 I went out for a 32 oz porterhouse dinner before I started my liquid diet...creamed spinach, chop salad, garlic mashed potatoes...I ate it all. This seems to be a common phenomenon with many if us...the good news is I can still eat steak...just 3 oz instead of 32...still satisfying and delicious.. 1 kmamaward reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dorian 683 Posted December 19, 2013 Ahhh...The "last supper syndrome! " Almost all of us have done it. Mine lasted for 3 or 4 days. I had dieted so hard before surgery and lost almost 40 lbs. When it came right down to surgery time, I wanted all of my favorites one last time. I gained 11 lbs by the time I had my pre op meeting. The nurse blamed it on a different scale but I was mortified! I had 1 week to lose it before surgery which I did. I had no pre op diet by the way. Anyway, you are not alone. Just don't do what I did! 1 SharonTarango reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
