Hello,

I am starting my Preop Diet tomorrow.

My hubby states that today is the last supper...(how crazy :-)

I am excited, but scared. I pray that I can get through this Preop Diet!

Any good tips?

Just follow the plan  set out by your surgeon.  Take it one step at a time and keep yourself busy to take your mind off the things you think you are missing.  In a very short time, they won't matter as much to you.  Don't overdo on the 'last supper' idea.  Keeping you in my thoughts as you succeed with the pre-op diet and head into surgery.  Hugs, Kathy

Best advice I can give is to remember at all times why you are on this pre-op diet, and how badly you wanted this when you began the process..and stay focused on that. Also avoid being at the table while other family members are eating tempting foods.
Lots of pre-ops go through a last supper phase....but we really don't have to see things like this. There will be lots of delicious foods we can eat when we are healed and moving along in this journey.
When I had my pre-op diet, I would cook for my hubby, then go for a walk while he ate it. I HAD to cook for him, as he is blind. So I usually tried to fix meals he liked and I did not.. worked well for me.
Good luck! You can do this!
Tell me again.. surgery is when?
