I did that too. Ate things I knew I would really have to limit after surgery. But almost a year later and at goal I don't miss those foods, I like my designer jeans in size 4 better. Good luck 7

OMG I'm doing the exact same thing and I'm scared, starting tomorrow it's diet time. From Jan till today i've gained 15lbs. But it's kinda unfair cuz when I went and got weighed at the beginning by the surgeon i had just gotten over a stomach virus and strep so i hadn't eaten any food in days. Even that morning i hadn't eaten. So it's time to get serious. I'm afraid they're going to push my procedure back since I haven't lost like i should. Also.. i've been frustrated because these "specialists" i have to see before the surgery are giving me the run around but that's neither here nor there. lol Good luck everyone.

coming from someone who is 3 years post-op.... eat while you can! your eating will never be the same again!

you might be able to eat the same foods but never near the same amount ever again!!

i had 2 weeks of "last meals" before my surgery!

Watch out guys. My surgeon said no surgery if I wasn't wihmthin five pounds of the weight I was at my initial consult. A weight gain before surgery is not a good indicator to a doctor that you are ready. That being said, I wouldnt go nuts with food but if you feel like you need to have a "last meal" kind of thing.... Do it once for pizza, once for whatever. Just don't continually say goodbye from now until your surgery! Best wishes!

I did this. Once I knew it was coming up I made sure I hit up a couple of my favorite restaurants to get a few last meals in. The night before my liquid diet I had a big meal of Pasta. Good luck with everything everyone!

I'm not proud of it, but I definitely ate like I was never going to eat again before I got my band. Thank goodness for the pre op diet!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
