Yeah, I didn't pig out before surgery either. I had my last SB frappe, my last Cherry Pepsi, in the couple of weeks before but even though I had met the pre-op goal, my surgeon said losing pounds right before surgery was more beneficial than losing say 10lbs over a month for the liver so encouraged me to lose more before the surgery. He also said that when people have a Last Supper that the grease from the food is secreted from the colon so it is like handling a greasy sausage. I figured if I was doing this for my health, why the heck would I increase my risk of complications just to pig out one last time?
