Last Meal

[love4life 9]

Just wondering if anyone enjoyed a huge last meal??? Either before surgery or 2 week liquid diet.

We had a family birthday two nights before my surgery. We went out to dinner and I had a glass of champagne, a wedge salad, and fish. It was completely delicious and I enjoyed every bite. And I told my surgeon about it and she thought it was fine.

The funny thing is, I'd been on my preop diet, so I had to share the salad, and I had no interest in dessert. I did eat all the fish, though. I remember thinking it was the last time I was going to be able to eat an entire dinner-sized serving of anything. I skipped the appetizer and the bread cause what I really, really wanted was what I ordered.

You'll hear different answers from everyone, but I allowed myself a couple big dinners with my favorite foods before my surgery. I did two weeks of low carb, high protein/lean meat, then a few days of having my favorite foods, then the 48 hour liquid diet my surgeon wanted before going under the knife. I know a lot of people think this sets a bad precedent or indicates not being ready for a life change, but I felt like I needed it, and I'm happy I did it. I remember those last meals with a fondness so powerful it borders on sexual

I haven't yet. I start my two week pre op liquid diet on the 24th. I have plans to go out with some friends on the 22nd to my favorite pub for one last hurrah! I am going to have my favorite, it's called the Harvest Burger, named after our famous annual Harvest Jazz and Blues festival. The menu describes it as "an 8 oz. lean ground patty topped with Havarti jalapeño cheese, crispy bacon, jalapeños and garnished with lettuce, Tomato, onion ring and dill pickle." and I'll get it with a side of sweet potato fries and spicy mayo. And of course going to have some bevies. I love the Magners Pear cider in a tall glass filled with ice.... oh I can't wait for the 22nd to get here! It's going to be so much fun. In the meantime I am not planning on going hog wild. I've chosen my favorite burger, and place, and friends, and until then will continue making good choices.
