Before your pre-op diet

[Ohtobeslinky]

Did anyone have a really good "last supper"? What did you just have to have before the pre-op diet and surgery? My friends are all saying we should go out and have one last "normal" meal - anyone else do this? x

 

[los in it]

I did think about having a " last supper " but because I had already reduced my food intake before doing the LSD ibhad already gotten to to eating smaller so I didn't want to undone all my good work! But I know some on here have done the final meal(s!) bit

The week before my pre-op diet started I didn't worry about what I ate, just enjoyed small portions of anything I wanted. The only thing I didn't enjoy (for the first time in my life) was the chocolate.

Now on day 4 of the pre-op diet and feeling fine

I planned to have the last supper, even down to what I was going to eat, but was given a cancellation date so only had 10 days notice for my op. The surgeon said I needed to go on the liver shrink diet immediately and stick to it 100%. I didn't want to risk the opportunity to have the cancellation appointment so I missed my last supper. On the one hand I was disappointed as I love my food (that's why I'm here!) but on the other hand I'm happy that I resisted temptation

I didn't but I got phoned at 5pm to say I could have £1k off the cost of my bypass if I took a cancellation in 13 days time, and I had to start the LSD the next day, I'd already planned and started to cook a chicken dinner so carried on and had that, I did however have 2 vodka and pepsi max, maybe if I'd of had more notice I *may* have had a fun funeral

Lol glad to hear you don't think it's a terrible idea though! When I made the decision to stop slimming world and choose the surgical option I just fell off the diet wagon altogether so I haven't had the experience that those on the NHS route have had. I think a big Greek meal may be in order before my pre-op diet starts X

I think those of us that self funded are really lucky we didn't have to jump through the hoops that others had to

Go and treat yourself to a nice meal. I did a home roast pork dinner on my final day and was yummy xx

I wish I'd of had last meal but not missing out now as not hungry xx but if I could go back I'd of had a last meal bacon baguette with lashings of butter n brown sauce xx umm we can but dream

 

[Anna1980]

I wonder if we will be able to eat bacon after being banded?

 

[Loving the Loop]

I kept it simple and had a whole 10" Pizza, figured its something I won't have post op, was wonderful.

 

[Ohtobeslinky]

Mmmm pizza - that will have to be on my to do list! x

I start my pre op diet Wednesday 1st October (in 3 days) I have cut down and been dieting for a few weeks now but today I haven't had any will power I've had crisps and feel like ordering a Chinese takeaway I feel I wanna pig out but I'm trying so hard not to binge on takeaway or junk food, I'm getting banded on 14th October in Dolan park and I need to lose 12lbs for my op which the consultant says I will lose sticking to the low carb pre op diet but as I've dieted early to try lose weight incase I don't lose the full 12lb on the pre op I'm just starting to panic incase they abandon my op if I don't lose the weight and shrink my liver

Hi Lisa, good luck on your journey and I'm sure you will loose enough in time, have your treat just not as much as you normally would x

Thanks Anna I went on Facebook and my friend had uploaded photos of his Chinese takeaway I told him I'm blocking him hahaha my mouth was watering and I was dying for a Chinese but I was fighting the urge to order and settled for a cheese cracker and some pickled onions I will try my hardest to have will power for this low carb diet xx

Hi Lisa - I'm trying to be good now - it doesn't really make much sense bingeing then going on the pre-op diet - it will just be such a shock to me. I am going out for a curry with friends on Wednesday but apart from that I think it's time to get my head in gear!

Good luck with it - I'll be on that diet with you soon x

Hi Ohtobeslinky
I'm gonna stick to it no bingeing as I get weighed tomorrow and I wanna stick with what I've lost and not gain I know I've lost by my clothes but I don't know how much also with my pre op diet I should lose so it will be worth the diet in the long run!
Enjoy your meal out when's your pre op diet starting?
Good luck with your op and everything aswell x

 

[Anna1980]
