The last month before surgery???

March 31, 2008

:confused:I got my insurance approval in one day. I am awaiting my psych eval (4/7) and a cardiologist eval (I am 64), so I am about one month away from the surgery. I have a question. In the early part of the lst month before surgery, what did most of you do about eating. Did you have one last meal of each of your favorites or did you start changing your diet even before the doctor mandated light/liquid pre-op diet?

I am thinking about one last Indian, Chinese, Mexican etc meal. Is this defeatist thinking?

Thanks for your help.:thumbup:

This is only my opinion. Things will change drastically when you get good restriction. If I could have done it all over again, I would have stayed on normal foods enjoying all my favorite foods up until surgery. Another way to look at it is, if you want to lose weight then I would eat 1200 calories a day. Either way, you can enjoy all your favorite foods.
