What Foods Should I Eat One Last Time B4 Surgery?



Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
