Did you have one last hurrah?



Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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..

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! ;)

      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.
