My last supper



Recommended Posts

I had my last supper last night for Christmas with my family. When I took my last bite I said Goodbye food, you have not been a very good friend to me.

Technically I should have been full liquids all day, but I fudged a little to be able to get thru the day.

Full on full liquids starts today. 13 days & counting.

Wishing you the best of luck. Don't say goodbye food because you still want to be able to enjoy food (it may take a while to get there but you will). My NUT says not to be afraid to eat. I will always love food. Now.. instead of living to eat, I eat to live. I just make better food choices. You will be fine.

Call off the disciples this is not your last supper! It may be your last "large supper" ! Good luck on your pre-op and surgery!!! Stay strong and follow the rules!

You aren't saying goodbye but next go around...you'll actually TASTE what little you CAN eat. There were a few "must haves" the rest the garbage I used to shovel in held no temptation.

Y'all have misunderstood me. Gheesh.

I flipping know I can eat again, but not for a long while & not in the same way. I'm not ignorant of the process.

A little testy are we? If you don't want others advice...don't post. I thought I knew it all going in. Then I had the surgery and had to live it while trying to pull my foot out of my mouth.

Best of luck

@dw40. I think I understood you meant you were saying a fond farewell to your old way of life because after surgery you will never eat the same way again.

I am nearly 5 weeks out and I honestly feel I have been given a new life. That doesn't mean to say I haven't obsessed about food: it's just taking my head a little longer to catch up to my body!

Finally just to say there is no better support site than this one. I am in the UK and I have been waiting 8 weeks to get login for a UK site but since I found BPal I haven't looked back. Here you get support in many different ways (including respect AND humour)

Good luck on your journey xx

@@dw40 Hey! I wasn't rude to you! I was joking with you and even said "good luck with your pre-op" then you insinuated we thought you were "ignorant in the process" we've heard that term "last supper" a gazillion times on here! I can't speak on how everyone else interpreted it but I knew what you were saying and the others where giving you advice! Your response did sound pissy! Any way sorry if you thought people where being rude it wasn't my intentions. I hear Thinnertimes Or obesity help may be good sites! Good luck!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
