Did you have one last hurrah?



Recommended Posts

While the mindset I have on food consumption has changed greatly over the past year, I still want one last hurrah. I live on the Water and seafood is a staple. I know I am going to have to start my liver shrinking diet on January 7th, but the weekend before I think I am going to go out and order a softball sized crab cake, even if I can only get half of it down.

Do you have a last meal you are going to eat before you start your pre op?

My preop diet lol. It was Atkins induction style, which is heaven for me. I ate all the meat, cheese, and deviled eggs I could handle. Cheese is still my nemesis. I will make it an entire meal or two if it is in the house.

I went out for a 32 oz porterhouse dinner before I started my liquid diet...creamed spinach, chop salad, garlic mashed potatoes...I ate it all. This seems to be a common phenomenon with many if us...the good news is I can still eat steak...just 3 oz instead of 32...still satisfying and delicious..

Ahhh...The "last supper syndrome! " ;)

Almost all of us have done it. Mine lasted for 3 or 4 days. I had dieted so hard before surgery and lost almost 40 lbs. When it came right down to surgery time, I wanted all of my favorites one last time. I gained 11 lbs by the time I had my pre op meeting. The nurse blamed it on a different scale but I was mortified! I had 1 week to lose it before surgery which I did. I had no pre op diet by the way. Anyway, you are not alone. Just don't do what I did! ;)

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
