Last supper syndrome.



Recommended Posts

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??

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.

I start my preop diet tomorrow. My surgeon has already told me that I have an abnormally small liver.

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.

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:D hehehehehe

Now Im sipping on Protein drinks and Water. Yum :wacko:

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

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!!!!!

Have you tried just Water some taste better mixed with just water than milk. Also maybe add some of those flavored coffee syrups...you can get sugar free flavors at Walmart just something to add variety!

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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
