When do you eat your last meal?

Hi, Was wondering what time is the best time to eat your last meal? :thumbup: ...and what do you eat at your last meal?

Any suggestions would help out greatly!

Thanks!

If you're going to do it, I suggest a couple of days before the surgery. It just makes no sense to me to stuff yourself the night before! Give it time to digest.

Isn't the best time the day before you start your preop diet? As to what - I would say anything you fancy.

Do you mean every night? OR do you mean..."pre-band"?

If it's every night I try to finish at least 4-5 hours before bed time.

If you mean the other; I'll eat my LAST meal right before I die, I'm guessing. Even banded AND restricted I still haven't found a food I like that I can't eat at least in SMALL portions...exactly as my surgeon promised me.

I had to do a preop diet beofre surgery, and my surgeon was very strict, If I was 2 ounces over the weight I was in the office a couple of days before surgery, he would cancel it. So my last "bad food meal" never really existed. I enjoy thios though . Nothing tastes as good as getting skinny feels.

Mine was a week before. And I didn't have any pre-op diet at all. Only liquids 24hrs before surgery and even that was hard for me. Good luck.

Mine was the night before surgery. I had been on my pre-op diet for 10 days and my surgeon said to go ut and have whatever I wanted. We went to Chili's. Check with your surgeon and see what he advise.

15 days before surgery.. well the day before I started my two week liquid diet. And it was sooo great. And you know what I was relieved after it was done. Because I knew that was the last time I was going to live this lifestyle. Very exciting!!! :thumbup: Good luck on your journey!

Got mine planned for this coming Friday. I'm being banded on the 29th. My sorority sisters are all getting together for my final big meal at Cheesecake Factory. I can't wait.

I've been calling it my "divorce" dinner. Me and food are (finally!) splitting up!:)

Don't fret on the "last meal" thing..............

I had my last meal several times b4 my pre-op diet started (LOL) but what I've learned at this point is that I can still occasionally have the foods I enjoy but I only want a few bites of it and can move on.......so, I haven't given up really anything-I just don't crave it anymore and a bite or 2 does the trick.

Sorry, I meant at night what time should you eat your last meal. I have heard 5 hours before your bedtime and I have heard nothing after 7 p.m.

Thanks!

Sistasassy,

Your dog is really cute what kind is it? Nancy.

I usually eat dinner around 5:30 - 6 ish and it's usually protein and veggies. Sometimes bread but rarely. Sometimes I have an evening snack around 8ish.

Now that is funny ! :rolleyes: Thanks for the laugh.
