Preop "the last supper"



Recommended Posts

While I haven't gotten to the surgery appointment stage yet, I was wondering if I should do my "last suppers" or not do it. I'm aware it's not the best thing to do and I will be unable to eat my fav foods. However, I know I will be missing them lol.

I didn't have a food funeral. I still can eat a lot of my favorite foods. I just eat A LOT less.

Okay, lots of ways to do this... Are you worried about not being at surgery goal weight? Remember 3500 calories = 1 pound and if there's sodium the Water retention too. At pre op I could eat this way 3x daily and more. You will have what you ate left in your digestive track at surgery maybe.

I personally skipped the last meal to make sure my body was as clean as possible going into surgery. I prepared more for more than, the first day post op since and there was going to be additional detoxing in the few days to a few weeks post op... starting with clear liquid stage, and I did not want to suffer detox symptoms from a night or events celebrating food...

I rather Celebrate life and focus on the notion that food is just for living and not living for food. Trying to recapture memories of mega-eating feasts is something I leave in the past with its bagage too. Live for post op better health and better quality of life. :D

I'm going to Cheesecake Factory the night before my liquid diet. It's already planned lol. That slice of cheesecake is mine.

I haven't been too worried about trying to detox from caffeine or carbs or anything because I figure after surgery I will be on pain pills for couple of days and sleeping and detoxing then and by the time I'm home there's no possible way I could eat something bad that early anyway so I think I'll be fine.

Post surgery I was really kind of wanting to do a whole month of shakes just to blow off as much weight as I can and take advantage of that post surgery ease. is that a bad idea if I get all my Protein and Water in?

I had a lot of food funerals and guess what. I was able to have s few bits of my favorites and still maintain my weight loss.
