Last Meal The Night Before Surgery?

[cmf1267 27]

But for me....its more of a mental thing I guess. I am a all or nothing person (sometimes that is no so good) and if I have it in my head that I am going to eat this humongus, fatty, greasy meal before surgery it gets my head out of the place it is now which is not eating just because it tastes good.

I agree with you Misty - if you're anything like me - if I haven't had the food for a while - I can live without it - but if you eat that kind of food then you just crave it for a few days. Why make it harder on yourself when the next day you have to just go back on the liquid diet? For me - the mental part is sooooo important.

And whose to say that you can't enjoy a bite or 2 in a year after you've lost all your weight.

Wow, I'm really stunned you were able to eat all that the night before surgery. I had no idea. I've been told no, no, no, SERIOUS no by my surgeon and his staff.

I have been on a liquid diet for a week and a half. I am surprised too and my surgery date 12/5/13.

My surgeon in Las Vegas advised us the afternoon before that we could do whatever we wanted for dinner the night before surgery. He just put a limitation on red meat.

My husband and I went to the macaroni Grill and ordered two of the smaller appetizers, had some bread, ate less than 1/2 of my entree and we both ordered dessert (we ate about 1/2). It was a great meal, we just didn't eat to the point of stuffing ourselves.

So, while I was given a free pass which was nice after a two week pre-op diet, I really was surprised at how little I ate. I savored every bite. It was wonderful.

Hi there I'm in Vegas as well with surgery scheduled for 12/23. Who was your surgeon and when did you get sleeved?

Hey, Tahoe.

I was sleeved on 11/14 by Dr. Umbach in Las Vegas (Blossom Bariatrics).

I will be on my liquid diet for 2 weeks starting Oct 28th. The night before that I plan on having a favorite meal. I wouldn't

do it the night before surgery though. Doesn't sound like a good idea.

Ugg all I want is popcorn popcorn popcorn sorry on my pre op diet and am popcorn obsessed!

I am on a clear liquid diet (suggested by my bariatric nurse at the hospital, not requested by my doctor) the day before surgery. That is tomorrow. So no "last meal" for me. Although I am considering having a spoonful of roasted garlic hummus tonight. (Of all the things to crave, I go back and forth on the pre-op diet from wanting a pickle, to craving hummus, or dying for just one bite of meat, like just one piece of shrimp!)

I just came back from a 7-day cruise and all I wanted was some spaghetti for dinner tonight... No food after midnight and no liquids after 5am.... Surgery is at 1130am tomorrow... Dr is in Pittsburgh, PA
