I told my husband that I wanted a "last meal" before I started this pre op diet I'm on and he said to me " that's your problem. Your last meal should've been yesterday and you're not realizing that." that hit home for me. All my foods got me to this spot that I'm in today and it needs to stop today!! I have to realize that I can't keep cheating at this cuz I'm the only one losing from it. My approval is now delayed because I quit dieting and didn't lose any weight. When's enough?? I'm having a hard time justifying any kind of cheating or eating once I can again. food has a huge grip on most of us in this position and that's where the mental part of this comes into play. Maybe I'll need to see a shrink or something down the road but I need to get healthy. Try and remember your goal which is surgery and they can deny you if you haven't lost enough weight.

I've heard of a lot people having a bucket lit and last meal and so forth. I'm not trying to offend anyone by any means but for most of us we are here because of those foods! I do not have a bucket list or a last meal. I have fought with my insurance for over three years and now have decided to self pay. I am embracing this tool and do not want to do anything to distract me from my goal. I know there are things I will more than likely never be able to eat gain but then again, I chose this. Just wanted to give my two cents ;) good luck everyone!

It was the hardest things giving up foods you can not have again, or at least the amount I use to eat them in. I am 3 months out and just saw the nutritionist and she said I can start eating small portions of carbs, bread, vegetables and fruit. I am a little excited but scared because I do not want to gain the weight back.

I didn't mean anything by my post. It was just my personal experience and I wish the best for everyone here. I just had a hard time realizing that a lot of my last foods had already happened. Good luck to everyone and I hope I get some lasts still before my surgery.

I had a small bucket list of foods I loved...and a very delicious non healthy last meal. It was my way of saying goodbye to my old life.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
