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?

I had a lot of food funerals and guess what. I was able to have s few bits of my favorites and still maintain my weight loss.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
