Last Supper B4 Pre-Op Diet?

[ddrobins 58]

Ok. I have been feeling really guilty and telling myself that you are wasting time and money if you let yourself pig out at this stage of the game. I start my Protein pre op fast on July 13 and have been dreaming of having one last blowout day. Maybe I'll allow myself a "last" meal. chicken Gyro with all the fixings, Greek salad, seasoned fries and a coke. This could happen on July 12th. :wub:

I spent the last couple weeks before my pre-op diet eating my way through town. Literally. pizza, burgers, pancakes, french fries, burritos, etc. I don't recommend it, because personally I think it made the mental cravings worse. But my last supper was lemonade, chicken wings, steak with mashed potatoes, and a brownie with ice cream.

I did the same. I went bizurk and ate everything in sight because like many, I thought it was the end of eating the things I enjoyed.

But here's the truth that I didn't realize 6 months ago... it's not the end.

I can still eat absolutely everything, including bread, meat, Pasta, and rice. I just have to take really small bites, chew it until mush, and pause between bites.

I have had some of the high fat "bad" foods I love since being banded too. The trick is to have them sparingly and to still stick to bandster size portions when you do indulge. About once a month, I have a splurge meal of choice regardless of calories or fat. This way I don't feel deprived of what I like but do it infrequently enough that it hasn't hurt my weight loss.
