Surgery date November 29th! So excited but nervous! I'm having the bypass. I weigh 246 lbs and live in Massachusetts. Trying to eat my favorite foods for the last time! Any advice?

Hi Nina,

Although I am pre-op and possibly not the best to advise, what I have heard from a few post oppers is often DON'T go on a big binge just prior to your surgery .... some said they regretted it when it made their weight go up, and here in the UK some of our hospitals will cancel the surgery if your weight has gone up between your last appointment and your surgery.

Doing so may also mess up your "Liver Shrinkage Diet" which I imagine you are on.

Trying to eat my favorite foods for the last time! Any advice?

You will be able to eat those foods again -- but in very much smaller portions. Don't view the surgery as the end of enjoying food.

Best wishes for your op !
