I just realized that my last meal pre-sleeve (which I'm going to cook up in about an hour or so in order to be inside my 12 hour no food window) will be a big plate of scrambled eggs. It's low carbs and it will give me a big chunk of Protein to tide me through a few days of almost no nutrients, but it seems sort of... anticlimactic, doesn't it? I'll add some cayenne pepper and lots of cheese to make it less bland, but still...

I feel like it should be a giant steak and mashed potatoes, a big frosty mug of beer, and a dessert of cherry pie a la mode. Instead... scrambled eggs and cheese.

Oh well, I'm not doing this for the "last meals" I'm doing it for long-term health!

Lol......Good luck for your op.

Kathy

That's the spirit!

LOL

Good luck tomorrow!

Will be thinking about you! Hmmm, might be a big decision for me on Sunday evening, I will be in Mexico and those Margaritas are darn good... Nah, don't want to be hung over the day of surgery...

ENJOY! Not your last meal, just the last meal of that size!

Really truly there are no last meals. I enjoyed my favorite food yesterday (part of a taco) and it was delish! You'll get to incorporate favorites and I am discovering new ones too. It is actually kind of an adventure to cook and modify things.

Angie don't tell ourobourus but Dr. Aceves lets you have a margarita and a last meal. It seemed a little kookie to me, but I had fajitas and three diet cokes before going to bed the night before surgery.

I won't tell if you won't! Shhh...

Good attitude.

Sending good thoughts to you today on your surgery day. :thumbup:

I won't tell if you won't! Shhh...

Aww geez. You guys should get the doc to buy a round of drinks and invite all your sleeve buddies down!

In retrospect, though, I'm glad that I was so compliant with my low carb preop diet. The surgeon said that my liver looked amazingly healthy; "you have the liver of a 20 year old" were his exact words. As a 39 y.o. man, I'll take any comparison to 20 y.o. man, gladly.

Yay! How are you feeling? Super cool to get to move your ticker eh?

hi, i just got my date 4/28 and i am wondering what your doctor's preop diet was if you don't mind sharing, i find it interesting that you can eat the night before??
