Last supper?



Recommended Posts

I might do a "last meal" on the 14th b/c I start a 10 day liquid diet on the 15th. It's going to be tough but worth it. By the time I get to mushies, it'll be close to 6 weeks with out "real" food! UGH! Seeing that in print sure makes a difference to just thinking it! AHHHHHHH!!!

well I've had my last meal before surgery tomorrow! Korean Barbeque and Steamboat was closed so we had yum cha instead. Yum! But that's it, my very last full meal before I'm banded!

I really have taken the brakes off a little this week, but luckily haven't gained any of the weight I lost back. Mind you, I haven't lost anymore either. But it's all good, by this time tomorrow I'll be a bander. :thumbdown:

My Full-Liquid diet doesn't start until the 14th. But right now, I hope I don't have the last-supper syndrome. I think it would be too much of a shock for me to go from a huge meal to just liquids overnight. I would probably cheat on the pre-op diet every chance I got if I go this route. So nope; not if I can help it, not for me.

So far I've been watching what I eat, CHEWING, eating in moderation, going to the gym *almost* every other day for about a month now. I"ve lost 17 pounds and I intend to keep them off for the surgery.

Good Luck to all!

New England clam chowda' is the best:) I ended up going to Olive Garden with my friends and had one last Corona Light. It's amazing how little I could eat, but I enjoyed it. I'm about ready to chew my own arm off at this point with Clear Liquids all day, but in less than 10 hours I'll be banded:) WOO HOO!!!

Hey another Sox fan, what do you think of the Manny trade? All for the best, I think he has serious mental problems. Like maybe being bi-polar. He's one reason the team hasn't been as good as usual this year.

I had crispy orange beef and veggies with white rice two nights ago from our local Chinese place. It was delish. I was very good and didn't order any high fat fried appetizers.

Back on my powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes and one small meal yesterday and from now till surgery. I may have lobster this weekend and forgo the butter. Lobster is an approved Protein on my hospital diet list. LOL

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow. Where are you having it. I have a friend who is going through the program in Portsmouth NH hospital.

I am at Lahey Clinic...they are great.:biggrin2:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
