When do you eat your last meal?



Recommended Posts

Hi, Was wondering what time is the best time to eat your last meal? :thumbup: ...and what do you eat at your last meal?

Any suggestions would help out greatly!

Thanks!

If you're going to do it, I suggest a couple of days before the surgery. It just makes no sense to me to stuff yourself the night before! Give it time to digest.

Isn't the best time the day before you start your preop diet? As to what - I would say anything you fancy.

Do you mean every night? OR do you mean..."pre-band"?

If it's every night I try to finish at least 4-5 hours before bed time.

If you mean the other; I'll eat my LAST meal right before I die, I'm guessing. Even banded AND restricted I still haven't found a food I like that I can't eat at least in SMALL portions...exactly as my surgeon promised me.

I had to do a preop diet beofre surgery, and my surgeon was very strict, If I was 2 ounces over the weight I was in the office a couple of days before surgery, he would cancel it. So my last "bad food meal" never really existed. I enjoy thios though . Nothing tastes as good as getting skinny feels.

Mine was a week before. And I didn't have any pre-op diet at all. Only liquids 24hrs before surgery and even that was hard for me. Good luck.

Mine was the night before surgery. I had been on my pre-op diet for 10 days and my surgeon said to go ut and have whatever I wanted. We went to Chili's. Check with your surgeon and see what he advise.

15 days before surgery.. well the day before I started my two week liquid diet. And it was sooo great. And you know what I was relieved after it was done. Because I knew that was the last time I was going to live this lifestyle. Very exciting!!! :thumbup: Good luck on your journey!

Got mine planned for this coming Friday. I'm being banded on the 29th. My sorority sisters are all getting together for my final big meal at Cheesecake Factory. I can't wait.

I've been calling it my "divorce" dinner. Me and food are (finally!) splitting up!:)

Don't fret on the "last meal" thing..............

I had my last meal several times b4 my pre-op diet started (LOL) but what I've learned at this point is that I can still occasionally have the foods I enjoy but I only want a few bites of it and can move on.......so, I haven't given up really anything-I just don't crave it anymore and a bite or 2 does the trick.

Sorry, I meant at night what time should you eat your last meal. I have heard 5 hours before your bedtime and I have heard nothing after 7 p.m.

Thanks!

I usually eat dinner around 5:30 - 6 ish and it's usually Protein and veggies. Sometimes bread but rarely. Sometimes I have an evening snack around 8ish.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
