Ok, so I have to ask fellow sleevers......

2 days prior to your surgery, what do you eAt as your last meal, I have to be on a complete liquid diet 1 day prior (no shakes, sugar free clear liquids)

I was on a 3 week pre-op and I ate what I liked, but modified it. I had zucchini boat pizza, montreal seasoned chicken on salad, and taco salad. I had attempted to have this surgery before and had 1 too many food funerals...I woke up without surgery being done.

Good luck!

I'm planning on sticking to my 2 week pre-op diet, which I start on 10/15, but on 10/14 I am having DH make me his spaghetti and meatballs as my last real meal!

I started my preop diet on Monday. Sunday night I had my Last Supper. My husband and I went to a very nice French restaurant and I did the tasting menu and wine flight. The food was amazing. The week before, I did eat some junk food that I don't usually eat and that will probably never pass my lips again (onion rings, patty melt). But I wanted to go out on a high note. I didn't want to think that my last "normal meal" was something stupid like a cheeseburger. At least I have a decent meal and experience to remember!

It's like I told my husband, I had a good run for 44 years, now it's time to face the music. I'm now five days into the preop and it's not that bad. I'm dreading the all-liquid part and the postop but I can do it.

My last meal will be an ALL DAY thing, I've decided!!

One of my coworkers said her last meal was a chile verde burrito and a Dr. Pepper...kind of made me chuckle, since she's 15 months post op and she drinks soda everyday..

Be careful if you are having your last meal after doing pre op liquid diet. It can make you really sick. I did mine before I started my preop liquid diet.

Mine will be tomorrow for Breakfast. I might just go crazy and have bacon and eggs. (I know, that's not really that crazy!) Will start on the pre-op diet at lunchtime. Have to travel north mid-morning to pick up my Optifast shakes and bars and just got my surgery date yesterday. I was told not to fast ahead of time and go ahead and eat a normal Breakfast. Working tonight until 9PM and don't get home until 10, so I hope we have bacon in the fridge at home!

      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.
