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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
