Did anyone have the last supper (dinner) before they started the pre-op diet?

I ate a few things I thought I would never be able to eat again. I don't have a problem eating most things though so I wouldn't have had to do that. I would suggest if you want something that you won't be able to eat a lot of, have a hamburger or something with bread. Bread is something hard to eat after banding.

Good Luck with your surgery, and let us know how things went for you.

I am still in the beginning stages of my lapband process and have already thought about a "farewell to food tour"! Try to keep telling myself this is not the right attitude to have to start a new life style but somehow I keep mapping out my restaurant tour.

I said goodbye to a whole slew of different foods. I did not want to feel deprived later on. Hey I found out that some of them I do not think I will actually miss all that much afterall. I will be a different person in respect to food after and this for me is just the important process.:ohmy:

Funny, I was thinking that very same thing today. Should I have a last meal or not, I probably will have a big plate of spaghetti, being Italian I will miss Pasta, even though I have already cut it out and haven't had any for about 6 weeks...my grandmother probably just turned in her grave!!!:ohmy:

I just want to eat at my favorite restaurant since I have no idea when I will get there again post op. We go there once a month or so since it is out of town. I always order the same thing, a petit filet mignon (5oz) with baked potato and salad. The filet is so tender and moist that it literally melts in your mouth. Yumm!

I've been saying goodbye to my favorite foods, and some not so favorite. Been eating a ton of salads, I know I will miss them alot!

I haven't been told about a pre-surgery diet other than nothing to eat or drink after midnight before the day of surgery.

Wonder if I'm missing anything?

Actually though, I'm cleaning out the kitchen and had planned to start getting used to the Protein shakes this coming week.

The night before my pre-op 2 week diet I ate a t-bone steak, mushroom and garlic bread. I figured it might be the last barbequed steak I'd ever eat. It was delicious. I also contemplated having Burger King, but opted for the steak.

I had two meals the two days before I started my pre-op diet that I thought I might never have again. Outback No-Rules Pasta and pizza. I don't miss the pasta, but I love pizza so much. Oh well...the pizza obviously never loved me back! :ohmy:

Yes I did also. I had the Pasta that I am going to miss, and the BBQ also. I gained back about 4 lbs because of it but I don't regret it now that I have been banded for 6 days and lost those 4 lbs plus 20 more on the liquid diet! :grouphug:

I had my last supper a few days before my surgery. I remember what I had suprisingly...a steak, some crab legs and a huge potato. LOL, I am glad I did because the whole steak thing is hard now.

      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.
