Today is Saturday and I have done pretty good on the prop. My doctor really didn't stress it at all. I was 231 and now 220. I am really wanted to get the "last supper " in tonite. Is that stupid of me? Did anyone else?

Ok, I was banded on a Monday. had to loose weight pre-op also. had my final meeting / weigh-in on the Friday before the surgery, in the Surgeon's office. Everything was a go. be at the hospital 7am.

Saturday...I went for my last meal - pig out. Chose someplace I will never set foot in again...a Chinese All you can eat Buffet! Had everything i always liked, and enjoyed every minute of it.

Sunday, fasted all day, only Water and broth. Mondays surgery went without a glitch.

Now keep in mind, I have HEARD stories where the person was on the OR table, the Dr. opened them up and said "Nope..No Good" got stiched up and had to re-schedule because their liver was too enlarged and dangerous forthe Dr. to continue.

But these are only stories I heard, not actullay know anyone.

My understanding is that the last supper is the night before the pre-op diet starts not the night or day before surgery

HI. Congrats on your weightloss so far! I agree with Allison that last supper( or suppers for some of us) were up to the pre op diet. I bet you are buzzing right know and have managed a fab loss so maybe if you feel you HAVE to have a treat, have just one thing thats naughty -but- nice rather than a whole meal. That way you have rewarded yourself but won't be beating yourself up about it in the morning. Good luck with the surgery.. I'm having mine on 29th xx

I did have a last supper last night!! But I didn't go hog wild. I still kept to the principles of the diet (lean protein/ low carb). I choose a small 6oz steak, a vegetable skew, and 1 roll. It was so good!! So i say yes....go ahead. but be smart. think small portions, lean Protein, low carb.....and I think you will be fine.
