Last meal

[emilyann89 0]

Did any one have a 'last meal' before surgery? If so was it before or during your pre op diet? Im on my pre op diet but I want to eat something a little off the diet to Celebrate but I ain't sure.

If you've already started your pre-op diet, I would HIGHLY advise against deviating from the plan at this point. The point of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver by depleting it of glycogen stores. They way you deplete your body's glycogen stores is by sending your body into a state of ketosis. Reaching a state of ketosis requires abstaining from carbs for 2-4 days. If you eat carbs while on the pre-op diet, you are essentially hitting the "reset" button and will have to go through the transition into ketosis all over again.

If you absolutely MUST cheat (which I sincerely doubt), make sure you stick to protein-only foods and don't have carbs or sugars. Otherwise you'll be undoing your hard work of getting your body into ketosis in the first place.

@@emilyann89 You missed the boat. You really should not have anything that's not prescribed on your pre-op diet. It's not worth the risk for a food funeral.

My last meal was a Protein shake.

Fear not.....your are getting sleeved.

There is nothing that you can't truly enjoy later on.

Be safe and engage in things that will help you prepare for surgery and then heal up and enjoy the losing.

food will always be there later on....enjoy the losing....reach your goals.....then you will be able to enjoy food with zero guilt. It is a great feeling.

I had my "last meal" (actually, more like 3 or 4 of them) before I started the pre-op diet. As everyone has said, it's not worth risking your surgery!

My last meal before my pre op was bacon wrapped shrimp with a cream sauce from a favorite Mexican joint. My last meal before surgery was a lobster Soup broth. My best meal since was every single meal because I know that I'm doing my body right.

I had chik fil a nuggets before preop started. I love those things. Am yet to try chicken post op.

We hit up of my favorite places in a farewell to junk food tour prior to my two week preop diet. Justin's kitchen for the fried mac and cheese, Cool hand lukes for the fried artichoke hearts, rolls and coconut shrimp, raku sushi for all my favorite rolls...
