Recommendations for last day of gluttony



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the last day before I begin my liquid only pre-op diet. Any suggestions on what I should eat? I know this may appear silly, but I have tried the past couple of weeks to not go crazy...and now I wonder if maybe I should have splurged a little more on some unfriendly sleeve foods.....

Chinese, hands down. I'll admit that is the one thing I do miss in large quantities.

It's just too greasy for me to tolerate. Most of the stuff I loved pre-op is all the fried stuff. Now, greasy stuff is just icky now.

I do eat the Mongolian grill noodles, but I still miss my peanut chicken, and enormous chicken egg rolls doused in dumpling sauce.

Ouch,, today was my first day on pre-op diet.. If I could just have one saltine cracker it would be heaven. During the day was not really a problem, but now I want carbs,, popcorn, crackers, SugarPops,, etc..

Well, I guess we can talk about all the yummy diet foods in a couple days when your diet starts..

I need to have 2 Protein shakes and one low carb/low fat/high Protein meal each day. I can supplement with green veggies and SF Jell-O.

It's only 2 weeks right? I can do anything for 2 weeks. Did I mention that two of my boys have birthdays between pre-op and my surgery??? All the cakes and ice cream. Ugh! Normally not so bad, but mixing up a Protein shake while they eat will be a good test of my resolve! :001_unsure:

My pre-op is 3 shakes a day and 64 oz of low cal beverages per day. That's it for 2 weeks before surgery!

I am sorry ... but remember, it's 14 days towards a new, healthier you. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!

Tonight we are doing burgers. On Tuesday's a local restuarant has 2 for 1 burgers. The kids thought it would be fun to have my "last meal" there. :)

My Pre-op diet is the Atkins two weeks before surgery, a colon cleanse 2 days before and Clear liquids until then. I would love to have one of my sons cheez-its. I was thinking that I would have a last meal the day before I do my colon cleanse. then Clear Liquids till surgery.

Do you think it will reverse all my hard work over the past two weeks?

I wouldn't take the chance, but then again I can be really disciplined if I have rules and directions to follow....

Personally I would see it as falling right back where you dont want to go. Keep with the good work, fight your way past it, you will feel better for it and you know it.

But if you have too, whats your all time fav food. Eat that.

I did this the week after Christmas, tried to say goodbye to my favorites. I had to have Claim Jumper Black Tie chicken Pasta and sliders from Chili's! It is definitely food like this that got me to this obese weight, so bad for you and full of fat and carbs. I was so sick of food by the end of that week that I was glad to get back to my 1500 calories a day gig. I only have to do 2 days of liquids for pre-op, and the doc said it was because I lost so much weight so far, so I didn't want to gain any by eating more. My surgery is 2 weeks from today, OMG!

Well my final day of gluttony consisted of buttered roll for Breakfast, ice cream for lunch and an eggroll and General Tso's Chinese food for dinner...oh and a diet coke....I'm not a big soda drinker, but I figured why not...I'm stuffed from dinner and looking forward to liquids and actually feeling hunger again......Thanks everyone for suggestions!!!!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
