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!

      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.
