Where did you go for your last pre-surgery meal? :thumbup: Did you find it helpful to have a last horrah? What is keeping you on track now?

okay, okay, no last meal for me sniff sniff!!!!

Oh, an addition to my Farewell to Food meal, bruschetta on crunchy toasted garlic rubbed bread with heirloom tomatoes, basil, and fresh cracked black pepper and kosher salt. drooooooool!

oooooh Globetrotter you are making me hungry!!! lol, somehow my tomato soup and jello just dont seem to compare with that! :biggrin0: I can't believe a week from Thursday I will be sleeved!!! yippeeee!

oh dear... i'm afraid i can't read this thread anymore.... as if i didn't ALREADY have enough foods to mourn, now i'm getting more ideas about the things i want to eat before i have the surgery!!! there's just no time, i say! haha!

My last meal before the pre-op diet was two pecks of steamed oysters and two or three beers.

My pre-op diet wasn't as strict as some. I had to basically go on an Atkins diet, low carb. For my last meal, before flying out the following day for surgery, was a ribeye with green beans.

Hey thanks alot, lol now I am really craving a red beer! I am a Kansas girl you know, so you can keep the fancy fru-fru drinks, there is nothing that beats a cold beer on a hot summer day!!

I understand how you feel. I am tired of being the big one.. It would be really freaking nice to be described as the tall one. Instead of the BIG girl. lol

Im in my diet now and it really isn't so bad. Mine is the Adkins also. So my last meal had mainly carbs. I can't wait to eat to live instead of live to eat! Don't get me wrong I enjoyed my last meal BUT I am ready!! The funny thing is in my head I thought the 12th was Tuesday but it is Monday! It has just been a while since I booked everything so it was a good suprise! Good luck everyone!

Monday July 12, 2010 my life will change forever!!

All you guys made me real hungry. I'm scheduled for 7-19 in TJ with Dr Almanza. I am having sushi for lunch tomorrow and a nice steak dinner on sunday then I go full force on the pre diet:thumbup1:

Lol. What didn't I eat. i knew a month ahead before my surgery and had every favortie food I could put in my mouth. But about the time I was getting ready to start the pre op cleansing I hit a food wall. Nothing tasted good to me anymore. No amount or type of food. It was then that I realized I was soooo ready for the surgery.

Do I miss certain foods. Being 11 days in a little but not being hungry all the time makes you reavaluate what goes into your mouth alot.

Though I do admit watching tv does make the mouth drool occassionally....gotta stop watching the food network lol Oh well old habits die hard.

Good luck all!

My doctor does not require a pre-op diet, but I've been cutting back on the amount of food anyway. I realize that after healing from surgery I will be able to eat regular food again, just in very, very small portions, so I am not worrying about a last hurrah. However, if I did have a last hurrah, it would be Sushi.

I had my last meal Friday night at the best restaurant in town, and except for the bread and wine, I stuck to my diet. I had swordfish and asparagus with a mozzarella salad. You can enjoy a last meal without totally "blowing it". Surgery is Wednesday.
