Any last cheat meals?



Recommended Posts

Anyone have any last cheat meals or drink of alcohol? I have a month until I get surgery and my doctor kinda gave me the okay to go enjoy myself a little, but do not go over board. Anyone have any last minute confessions before surgery? Is it ok if I just self indulge a few more times before surgery dine and wine? Let me know your experience. Will the surgery still go good?

Yes I did. I had been doubting this for weeks. During the pre op diet I had been a good girl. (not a shake diet but i chose weight watchers, half portions) Everyone asked what my last real meal would be and up to half an hour before I took it, I was convinced I would just eat regular food. But then my husband asked if I wanted fries with shoarma (spicy fried meat pieces) I took it, at half a small portion and enjoyed it very much. And you know what? No guilt, for I had been working to lose several kilo's before the operation, my liver would forgive me. I am 3 months out now and haven't had that meal since, and don't crave it.
So my advice, yes take a last cheat meal but do not go overboard. Like I said, take half of a small portion. And I would advice against taking alcohol the day before operation, it might linger in your body too long? Anyway, good luck either way

I went to a Brazilian steakhouse with my husband. You know the ones where they bring the cuts of meat to your table. So I got a little bit of different cuts of steak, chicken, pork, and lamb. I loved having the variety and don't regret doing it at all.

Ooh those are brilliant! I have visited those restaurants in Brazil! I am not sure i can handle that now but I will probably go to Brazil end of this or next year, so I will definitely try. I remember walking in this restaurant the first time, I couldn't stop laughing for they had meat on their swords haha

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
