Before having gastric bypass what are some of the foods you had to have just one last time? My surgery is scheduled the 29th of this month so I will start the liver shrinking diet next week.. This week has been all about Mexican type foods... I didn't realize I liked it so much till that's all I wanted this week... So what's your foods?

Sweets from my favorite local bakery. My mom visited and I had her bring them the day before I started my pre op diet.

My favorite was a grilled stuffed burrito from Taco Bell, smothered in hot sauce. Also ramen noodles. I can't even fathom how many packages of ramen noodles I've eaten in my lifetime...

I only had a one day liquid diet the day before surgery. I'd already lost more than the 10 percent of my excess weight that they required. I had my last pre op appointment at 8 am at the hospital the day before my surgery.

When I left the hospital after the appointment I suddenly had an epiphany! My surgery was scheduled for 12 noon the next day, which meant I still had about three hours until I had to start my 1 day liquid diet.

I went to pizza Hut and had a final blow out - cheese and pepperoni pizza, bread sticks, the big chocolate cookie and Coke Zero. It was great and I don't regret it one bit. I'm 11 months out now, reached my goal weight, and haven't had any fast food, bread, or soda since that day. I no longer even crave them.

I had foods I thought I might not be able to tolerate after surgery. My "last bite" before starting on my liver shrinking diet was a chocolate turtle from a really good chocolatier.

This is cruel and unusual punishment. I thought it would be hypocritical to splurge but I did have a twice baked potato and t bone steak.....5 days into my liquid diet and I'm craving split pea Soup but it probably has too many carbs :( I'm doing ok though

At my visit with the nurse practitioner this past week (2 days after the phase II diet) he asked how I gained weight! I explained that I panicked the week prior and at everything I would miss; such as pizza, pop tarts, and the best fried chicken and homemade macaroni and cheese I've ever made. I love to cook and I learned how to cook from southern women, then married into an Italian family, picking up great cooking skills there as well - now I need to reteach myself to cook healthy foods.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
