"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:

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

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
