I made sure I ate at my 2 fav restaurants. I remember I ate about 12 crabmeat ragoons. They are very rich. I was so disappointed I couldn't eat more at one sitting. I ate two baskets of chips and salsa , mexican entree and mex dessert. Coke after coke after coke with mexican too.

Yes I pigged out.

Being the only heavy person in an extended family of normal to thin people, I didn't tell them about the surgery while I was going through the pre-op testing and evals. When I got my date (a Wednesday) I called my mother and made arrangements to visit for the weekend. As always, she asked if there was anything special I wanted her to cook.

Anything special? I had a list! She and my aunt had 6 meals planned and I enjoyed every bite of all my favorite foods, knowing it was a "goodbye party" for me.

After dinner on Sunday, I told everyone about the upcoming surgery. They were supportive and intrigued . . . and amused by my meal requests, which now made more sense to them.

I'm blessed that my family has been cheering me on from the beginning. And now that I'm wearing a 12-14, they've become a great source of hand-me-down clothing, too!

I did too. I went to every favorite restaurant that I had for lunches and dinner before my pre op - Do I regret it, not really, I am happy with my weight loss and my style of eating is going to change for the rest of my life so I gave myself the last supper syndrome and enjoyed while I could.

My doctor tricked me. I went for my preOP checkup the night before my schedule surgery, afterward I was planning a huge Mexican feast (I was in Mexico afterall) but when I got to the hospital for the pre-op, he says' Here put this on..." hospital gown, and wheeled me into surgery! Oh why not, I said... but i did feel cheated!

I had so many last suppers with my supportive friends, they asked when was the REAL Last Supper.:) The REAL Last Supper was Sunday before my surgery at Carrubus. But amazingly, I began to loose my appetite before the surgery, for fear I would gain weight. My surgery was on May 31st.

My Dr. is very strict about not doing the surgery if you gain any weight. I actually gained 1/2 lb, but he SURPRISINGLY agreed to do the surgery anyway.:kiss

So have your LAST SUPPERS :hungry: and enjoy every bit of it. I hope you will have as good of an experience as I have had in the past 11 days. Having this surgery has certainly been a Blessing!!!!

I had to start my pre op diet 2 days after I was told when my surgery date was, but I sure tried to fit as much as I could into that 2 days. Makes me ill now to think how much I used to eat (A lg Big Mac meal and 6 nuggets was my last pre-band fatty-me sized meal. Gah!!).

      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.
