What was your "last" meal?



Recommended Posts

Had permission to eat a few meals at my moms memorial, a week before surgery. I had duck, escargot, lobster ravioli,(to die for), and was very happy, as I found out at the last minute when my surgery was and had no opportunity for a last meal. I had cut carbs a few months before surgery, had lost 24 lbs, so I didn't waste t

hat opportunity to eat carbs at all.

This is the only "last meal" I've heard about that was seemingly worth it. Burgers? pizza? Fast food? BLURP!! This sounds delicious. And a special time, too. <3

I ate all the junk food I wanted. I ate corn in a cup, flaming hots with cheese, pizza, drank Dr Pepper all day, enough tacos for a year and then BOOM it ended lol it's ok though getting used to my new life style.

I went all out lol. I got absolutely wasted and ordered a BBQ bacon cheeseburger and loaded cheese fries. Alcohol alone must have been at least 1000 calories. I know a lot of people say not to do food funerals but it was worth it lol.

I fully admit I had a 2 week food funeral. Went for Mexican like 4 times, ordered pizza 3 times. Had Italian. Had all my favorite fast food--Sonic, Whataburger, Raising Canes, Jack in the Box. Sushi, cake and McDonalds Breakfast almost every morning

"Food funerals" are not necessary, food did not die. We only will be eating smaller portions of it post WLS and for some foods much less frequently.

Congratulations on your surgery in 10 days.

Such a great concept that I really feel like my NUT and doctor didn't really drive home.

It's true, though.

As a sleever.....one is simply delaying having certain things.

My final meal prior to starting my pre-op was thin crust supreme pizza from pizza Hut. It was such a different food from my normal low carb eating that I'd been doing at that point that beginning the liquid diet the next day was a welcome return to low carb eating. It was a greasy tasting mess that just didn't deliver any positives....but yet I did it anyway.

Now....13 months past surgery, I can have pizza without issue. I order it for the family once a week if not more. I almost never touch it and it's no biggie. I'd rather have other items that are on-plan.

Food....while fun to grill and cook....is only fun to eat for me when the nutritional breakdown is congruent with my goals.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
