I am just over a month away from my surgery date. I don't intend on gorging myself with last meals, but is there anything I might want to have that I won't be able to eat for awhile after my surgery? I have heard steak is hard to digest & crunchy foods like salad. Any recommendations?

I had a lot of big salads before surgery

To be honest, with the sleve there is not really anything you can't have. It's all about the moderation. I consume mostly protein, once in a while I may treat myself to something sweet. I am 6 weeks out and I have had steak tacos with no problems

Yes but it will definitely be awhile before you return to normal things. Depends on what your favs are.... If I choose for you, lots of pizza and cheeseburgers, and salad! That's what I miss the most.

I would order one of everything from Taco Bell.

Hmmmm...... baked cod with roasted asparagus and broccoli. Delish!

Bread, celery, salads and coconut.

Bread, for sure. I haven't had bread in over a year. Don't honestly miss it at this point, though--I miss the "fact" of it more than the taste of it, and the convenience factor of just grabbing a sandwich. It's all totally worth it, though, and you may not have the same issue with it that I do. :-) My "last meal" was, in fact, a cheeseburger and fries from Wendy's--I am not proud of this, but that's what it was. I think it had bacon on it, too. And we wonder why I needed the sleeve, LOL. It was good at the time.

Really? Really? That sounds like you ate too healthy! I'm just funnin' with you...

I'm thinking some bagels from Panera are in order! I love asparagus & I bet since it is fibrous,it should be on my "eat" list b4 surgery too.

Salad and raw veggies would be my suggestions since it will be awhile before you can have those. I agree with bagel too, I have been craving one!

omg i would kill for some chinese food right now lol!

Yep, I have been relishing every trip to our favorite Chinese Buffet since I first went to see the surgeon...

soooooo jealous right now!!! lol enjoy while you can:D enjoy your favorite meals now, just dont over do it. &you'll be fine(:

Oh my days are numbered...liquid diet starts Sunday! Dum da dum dum!!

Pick a favorite and have it one last time.I used to LOVE Prime Rib. Now 1.5 years out beef other than ground does nothing for me and does not go down easy.
