I'm a new member, anticipating VSG the beginning of June. I'm so glad to read this post and the replies following it. I know I think I've got to get my "last meal" in before the surgery even though in my head somewhere I know I can someday eat things just in much, much smaller portions. It's just another confirmation to me that this surgery is the right decision for me. I want, no, I NEED to eat like thin people do, much smaller portions. What a joy it will be when I can do that. I can't wait. Thanks again for the great info.
