"Last Supper"



Recommended Posts

Having surgery on monday and apart from total panic and angst I have today enjoyed my "last supper". I know I of course will be able to eat afterwards aswell, but still felt a need to serve a complete feast for dinner tonight. Champagne and shrimps for starters and beef tenderloin with potatoe gratin for main course, a really nice Amarone wine to go with it. Normal? I assume and hope so... :rolleyes::P

Tomorrow will be a day of excitement and I will most likely be a complete wreck of nerves. On top of trying to deal with all my feelings of death anxiety I will have to give myself an injection tomorrow night...something I have never done before....:-S

I wish I could fast forward until monday afternoon and I would be reassured that I would wake up after surgery and all went well.

What type of injection do you have to give yourself? That would scare me, too!

Hi,

The injection is a Fragmin self-injector, prescribed to be taken day before suregery and for 10 days afterwards. It's for preventing blood-clots. I'm hoping I will be alright with it tonight. It's a very small needle which is to be put into a very big belly - so should be ok. :lol:

Good luck with it and good luck with your surgery!!

My surgery is Nov 2nd and had my last supper last nite also being my 1yr wedding anniversary. I felt a nice seafood dinner would be good, so i had a half of a lobster tail, 4 scallops, 4 shrimp i was full from being on low carb diet last 3 weeks.

My restriction was different again from most i was just told not to eat after midnight on monday night, but i may opt to have a light Breakfast and Clear liquids on monday.

Im a little nervous but looking forward to a new start, im tired of being fat and the yo-yo weight loss and gain.

Good Luck to everyone on Monday looks like alot of people making a new start. Its time we finally do something for our selves!

Joe

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
