On the eve eve of starting my liquid diet, I'm trying to get in those foods that I love. I'm having sushi, miso Soup, and a crab rangoon for lunch (Lunch special). Don't know what for dinner and daytime tomorrow, but tomorrow night my sister is cooking me a feast! Lemon chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, and my fav, green bean casserole (she's a doll). What other foods do you think I should try to get in (before people get testy, I'm still eating smaller portions because I've completely changed my diet)? Anything you were sad you didn't get a last taste of?

I did the same it took 4 days. I had southern BLT, shrimp, and grits with collards, a local side salad, and a pastrami sandwich. I gained 2 pounds savored each bite and don't regret a thing. I'm now 3 days from surgery and down 10 pounds so 2 of those were wonderful.

I made sure I had most of my favorites before my first doc appointment. I think a ‘food funeral’ is good. Some foods we can have again, but most we should try and cut out, mainly sugar. I want to go into the surgery as healthy as I can, so I’ve started now. I lost 13 lbs and cut out sugar and it’s insanely hard 😭. Today is day 7 of that. My friend who had it and had the best recovery worked out a lot and that’s been my main focus. I may slip in these months leading up to the surgery, but I’m trying. I’m so happy for us all, I know we’ll all be so much healthier in the coming months/years. Good luck with your surgery! ☺️

I had a food funeral too I tried to focus more on meat since I hear its hardest to digest after surgery. I had Korean BBQ, Ramen, steak from Longhorn, cow tongue tacos (I know, weird lol), and a few other things. My family also cooked some of my favorite dishes a week before.

My "last meal" was amazing and today I started my pre-op diet! Ready to go!

It has cream of mushroom Soup and fried onions in it. It’s just kinda carb heavy.

I made this as a microwave version when I was on mushies. I used the low fat Soup and canned chicken. It was really delish and satisfying. And perfectly on plan. I put it up in small 1/4c portions and froze it. Then i'd take one out per meal and nuke it for like 1 minute 20 seconds and had a meal of which I ate maybe 1/2 of it. The bariatric version isn't carb heavy at all.

Here's my recipe for it, but now I just omit the COC soup and use COM.

Thanks for the recipe! I'll have to try it when I'm on the mushy phase.
