what foods are you choosing for the last time?

Hi, I am being rebanded with your group.

Here is a bit of advice. What you miss is that big bite into something thick, hamburger, sub sandwiches, thick pizzas etc.

But do your last meal a couple nights before your surgery. When you have surgery your digestive track slows down immensely, then on top of it you will probably be given liquid codeine for pain relief. This adds to Constipation.

Right now

to maintain our current weights we put down a lot of food. Literally what we put in one end pushs more out the other, large quantities. I think probably the average over weight person goes at least 1 a day. You will be amazed how little you will go after lapband. If you eat large quantities before your surgery you will be sluggish in moving it through, and also they blow up your stomach with gas to put on the lapband so it will be harder to move the gas out of your system.

I didn't have what you would call a last supper or something I knew I wouldn't be able to have after surgery. However, my husband and I went to the State fair and I had what I wanted. The day prior to me starting my pre op diet I had my nephew over and he wanted meatloaf, cabbage and mac & cheese, I made it for him and the was the last time I ate something decent. I would have much rather went to a steak house, but I didn't. I'm looking to achieve the prize of weight loss and it's going to be a way of life. I wish everyone well and just keep in mind the goal you want to achieve.

i ate everything that i craved for a week...i did not think i was going overboard too much...but i gained 5 lbs...this is my 3rd day on clear liquids...7 more to go...hopefully i will be able to make it....but it was good for me to purge my head of cravings before...i don't really crave anything now and feel like i can make it...hopefully...i am sure i won't be perfect, i just have to always get right back on track if i mess up...has to be a way of life not a diet....good luck to everyone.
