October 6, 201312 yr I am dealing with what my dr calls last supper syndrome. I start my preop diet tomorrow and I've been eating everything in sight this weekend!! I'm sending my hubby out for one last good meal for supper. Has anyone else done this before preop diet??

October 6, 201312 yr ABSOLUTELY!!! I did the same thing. I would do it again if I had to do it over again!

October 6, 201312 yr Otherwise known as food funerals, very common. Just one caution--don't do this right before your surgery so you won't risk having surgery canceled due to a fatty liver. You will be able to have some of those favorites again, but it will be down the road several months and in much smaller portions.
October 6, 201312 yr Author I start my preop diet tomorrow. My surgeon has already told me that I have an abnormally small liver.
October 7, 201312 yr I've started my Last Suppers before I even have a surgery date. Every three weeks I take a meal that I will not be able to have ever, in quantity or in a couple years very toned down and eat it. I've enjoyed a huge fried seafood platter, a six course Italian meal and pizza. It was the affirmation that 'I can live without this food and the way it's cooked and portioned' that I was most satisfied about discovering.
October 7, 201312 yr LOL I started my pre-op liquid diet today too- and yesterday was FULL of amazing food. I made hubby take me out both for bfast and dinner- then I met a friend for dessert. Hubby and I actually joked at dinner about this being my 'last supper'. I am so ready now :D hehehehehe Now Im sipping on Protein drinks and Water. Yum
October 7, 201312 yr Chelle, How is is going so far, I start my liquid diet on Wednesday but have been trying to eat less the past couple days, it has been rough for me and I'm not even on the complete diet yet. When is your surgery scheduled for, mine is October 23. Good luck to you

When is your surgery scheduled for, mine is October 23. Good luck to you Today is ok- although sipping on my Protein drink is nasty- and its only day 1. Im not really hungry though. At one point I smelled my co-workers pizza and thought mmmmmm- but I drank a bunch of Water and its better now. I think I need to mix my powder with something other than skim milk. I dont like milk much anyway. My surgery is just two days before yours, on the 21st. I hope this two weeks goes by fast. Good luck when you start on Wednesday!!!!!

Also maybe add some of those flavored coffee syrups...you can get sugar free flavors at walmart just something to add variety!
October 8, 201312 yr I know that the Last Supper idea is very tempting, but my bariatric nurse told me not to do that because it makes it so much harder to handle the liquid diet. Therefore, I'm trying to cut down on food portions and have even begun to have a protein shake instead of breakfast. I plan to transition to protein shakes for breakfast and lunch before I go on full liquid. I sure hope that plan will ease the shock of liquids only.
October 8, 201312 yr My plan is similar. However, I plan to start replacing dinner. Followed by lunch and finally replacing breakfast with the protein shake the day I start my two week liquid 'liver shrink.'
