Just curious, I have read several surgeons (all from the Mx forum) that allow a "last meal" literally the night before surgery and even recommend a great resteraunt to go to. I didnt think we could do this. My surgeon in Mx. has me on a strict 2 wk pre-op diet which includes the last 3 days to be Clear liquids only and no eating after midnight. I dont think he would approve a "last meal" seeing as you may go overboard and stuff yourself.

Just curious as to what others have done and why this would be ok, obviously it is as those that have done it seem to have no problems.

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
