Preop "the last supper"



Recommended Posts

While I haven't gotten to the surgery appointment stage yet, I was wondering if I should do my "last suppers" or not do it. I'm aware it's not the best thing to do and I will be unable to eat my fav foods. However, I know I will be missing them lol.

I didn't have a food funeral. I still can eat a lot of my favorite foods. I just eat A LOT less.

Okay, lots of ways to do this... Are you worried about not being at surgery goal weight? Remember 3500 calories = 1 pound and if there's sodium the Water retention too. At pre op I could eat this way 3x daily and more. You will have what you ate left in your digestive track at surgery maybe.

I personally skipped the last meal to make sure my body was as clean as possible going into surgery. I prepared more for more than, the first day post op since and there was going to be additional detoxing in the few days to a few weeks post op... starting with clear liquid stage, and I did not want to suffer detox symptoms from a night or events celebrating food...

I rather Celebrate life and focus on the notion that food is just for living and not living for food. Trying to recapture memories of mega-eating feasts is something I leave in the past with its bagage too. Live for post op better health and better quality of life. :D

I'm going to Cheesecake Factory the night before my liquid diet. It's already planned lol. That slice of cheesecake is mine.

I haven't been too worried about trying to detox from caffeine or carbs or anything because I figure after surgery I will be on pain pills for couple of days and sleeping and detoxing then and by the time I'm home there's no possible way I could eat something bad that early anyway so I think I'll be fine.

Post surgery I was really kind of wanting to do a whole month of shakes just to blow off as much weight as I can and take advantage of that post surgery ease. is that a bad idea if I get all my Protein and Water in?

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
