OHHHH I am a guilty on on this :thumbup: The morning I got my call to say I was approved I set my surgery date, I told them the sooner the better. I was told to start my clear liquid diet the very next day ( I was diabetic and had to do a two week all liquid diet )

Called my wife and said we are going to UNO's pizza for dinner. I had pizza, Wings, a big ole dessert :seeya: I was a very happy camper. I must say that I am even more happy since I have had surgery. Just look at the weight ticker :mad:

Looking back, I wish i did have a last meal, but I didnt......I was already dieting for 3 weeks and had no desire.....

I hink its really important to recognize that a last meal is not a good bye from a particular food or group of foods......It's a good bye to volume of food we've become comfortable eating...

I'm 4 weeks post op today I've lost almost 40 pounds since 8/1....I feel great and I cant wait to have some of those foods again, but just in a MUCH MUCH smaller volume.......I'm already thinking on how to make healthier choices at certain restaurants......

LMBO. @ 2flyguys. My sister was just talking about that. She has heard it's fabulous. I plan on having some of her's. I want the chocolate brownie with fudge AND ice cream. lol

The dish i normally eat i can't have only because i've agreed to do a study with my Dr that will pay $200. There are certain foods i have to stay away from for 2 weeks prior and lemon is one of them. I love the bistro Pasta that has a lemon based sauce. That's ok. I need the $200 more than i need the Pasta anyway. I'm still gone enjoy myself to the fullest.

Pre-op diet is very close. Although i've read many ppl have 2 weekk of clear i only have one day which is great for me. Surgery 1 week from today.

My surgeon actually suggested it and that I do it a few days before since they don't require a pre op diet.

This is to funny. I was all geeked up to eat all this food on friday at the cheesecake factory. And guess what. I couldn't hardly eat anyrthing. lol I got soooooo full so quick. I did manage to have the spinach and artichoke dip. And the brownie dessert i hate about half of it.

I guess that's a good sign of my eating habits. It's been since May that i've been cutting back on my meals. It's just not taking as much anymore to get me full. Just imagine how it will be after surgery. Speaking of the Thursday is the day.:smile2:

Guilty here... or I will be!

My hubby and I are going to my favorite seafood buffet Friday night.

Its at a casino and is expensive... I don't think I'll ever go again... I know I can eat it just less... but I'll never eat even close to my moneys worth after surg on Oct 20th! :smile2:

and I'm fine with that!

I got my band 4 weeks ago today.

I had a series of "last" meals; Mexican, Italian, Steak, Chinese, Steak again, Cheesebergers, Steak some more,...and the desserts! Yes. With every "last" meal was a fantastic dessert.

Now I can hardley eat anything, but I'm melting away and it is sooooooo worth it.

I eat really, really small portions since the band and my Husband is thrilled at the lower cost of going out to eat.

I say have that last meal (or series).

Good luck with your band!

I was going to go out and have a last meal with my brother, but then he cancelled. My last meal consisted of a few slices of bread because that's all there was in the house. How disappointing.

      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.
