Last Supper B4 Pre-Op Diet?



Recommended Posts

Ok. I have been feeling really guilty and telling myself that you are wasting time and money if you let yourself pig out at this stage of the game. I start my Protein pre op fast on July 13 and have been dreaming of having one last blowout day. Maybe I'll allow myself a "last" meal. chicken Gyro with all the fixings, Greek salad, seasoned fries and a coke. This could happen on July 12th. :wub:

I spent the last couple weeks before my pre-op diet eating my way through town. Literally. pizza, burgers, pancakes, french fries, burritos, etc. I don't recommend it, because personally I think it made the mental cravings worse. But my last supper was lemonade, chicken wings, steak with mashed potatoes, and a brownie with ice cream.

I did the same. I went bizurk and ate everything in sight because like many, I thought it was the end of eating the things I enjoyed.

But here's the truth that I didn't realize 6 months ago... it's not the end.

I can still eat absolutely everything, including bread, meat, Pasta, and rice. I just have to take really small bites, chew it until mush, and pause between bites.

I have had some of the high fat "bad" foods I love since being banded too. The trick is to have them sparingly and to still stick to bandster size portions when you do indulge. About once a month, I have a splurge meal of choice regardless of calories or fat. This way I don't feel deprived of what I like but do it infrequently enough that it hasn't hurt my weight loss.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
