How Many Last Meals ... ?



Recommended Posts

I was definitely thinking of a last meal before my 2 week pre-op begins. My fiance' says he wants to go hit all of our favorite spots before the pre-op, Outback, Olive Garden, Sonic (shakes!), Chili's. I have to admit I wasn't quite thinking so big. I think I would just like to have a nice steak dinner before the pre-op. I would probably have dessert since I've been avoiding refined sugars and sweets for a few weeks. He says he won't be able to eat in front of me. I think he'll change his mind on that one. He has to have his gall bladder removed soon, so he won't be doing any pigging out, either. I guess since I've changed my eating habits over the past few weeks it's easier to wrap my head around the thought of adjusting to this transition. We'll see!

I was too busy doing the pre-op liquid diet to do any last meal stuff. Glad I didn't cause it's really silly. There is nothing "off limits" to me and my band. But it's usually a huge waste of money because I don't eat much of it anyways. Just everyone please relax and not go into a panic that you are not going to eat your favorite food ever again. I just don't think that's true. It's really not worth the extra weight gain that your going to have to do either. Take care..happy losing.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
