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.

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
