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.

      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.
