So, my surgery is on May 29th which means that I start my liquid diet in less than a week, next Tuesday. I have been trying to eat and say "good-bye" to as many foods as possible before that time. Well, tonight we went out for supper and I had a very yummy, huge omelet (didn't eat it all) with bacon, sausage and cheese. I also had two slices of toast with butter and jam. I was nice and full by the time that we left the restaurant. My issue is that when leaving the restaurant, I could smell someone in the area grilling and it smelled SOOOO good. Now I'm thinking that I need to have a nice big grilled hamburger before my liquid diet but have no access to a grill. Potato salad would be wonderful too. I just keep thinking of more and more foods that I want/need to have before next week. Has anyone else dealt with this and how did you handle it? I'm starting to freak out a little bit.....

Well, reading this was torture as I’m still on post op liquids [emoji6]. But it all sounds delicious. To be honest, I enjoyed every single meal I had for the week before I went into surgery (no liquid diet required until the day before for me). I went to my favorite restaurants and ordered my favorite things, but didn’t over eat like I normally would. I was shocked that I’d still lost 2 more pounds on the day of surgery. I don’t know what to tell you, because saying you should eat what you want while you can is not the healthy thing to say, but I did and it worked out ok for me. ??‍♀️
