I was on a 3 week pre-op and I ate what I liked, but modified it. I had zucchini boat pizza, montreal seasoned chicken on salad, and taco salad. I had attempted to have this surgery before and had 1 too many food funerals...I woke up without surgery being done.

Good luck!

I'm planning on sticking to my 2 week pre-op diet, which I start on 10/15, but on 10/14 I am having DH make me his spaghetti and meatballs as my last real meal!

I started my preop diet on Monday. Sunday night I had my Last Supper. My husband and I went to a very nice French restaurant and I did the tasting menu and wine flight. The food was amazing. The week before, I did eat some junk food that I don't usually eat and that will probably never pass my lips again (onion rings, patty melt). But I wanted to go out on a high note. I didn't want to think that my last "normal meal" was something stupid like a cheeseburger. At least I have a decent meal and experience to remember!

It's like I told my husband, I had a good run for 44 years, now it's time to face the music. I'm now five days into the preop and it's not that bad. I'm dreading the all-liquid part and the postop but I can do it.

My last meal will be an ALL DAY thing, I've decided!!

One of my coworkers said her last meal was a chile verde burrito and a Dr. Pepper...kind of made me chuckle, since she's 15 months post op and she drinks soda everyday..

Be careful if you are having your last meal after doing pre op liquid diet. It can make you really sick. I did mine before I started my preop liquid diet.

Mine will be tomorrow for Breakfast. I might just go crazy and have bacon and eggs. (I know, that's not really that crazy!) Will start on the pre-op diet at lunchtime. Have to travel north mid-morning to pick up my Optifast shakes and bars and just got my surgery date yesterday. I was told not to fast ahead of time and go ahead and eat a normal Breakfast. Working tonight until 9PM and don't get home until 10, so I hope we have bacon in the fridge at home!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
