My surgeon wouldn't submit to insurance until I met the weight goal they set for me. I would try to focus your mind on other things if possible. I plan on picking up a few extra hrs at work to make up for the 4 weeks I'll be out. They just submitted yesterday.They said surgery will probably be the end of May. My fear is gaining weight meantime and having them not do the surgery.
Well as much as I hate to admit it and I know it's not what you are supposed to do, I had that mentality for the first few months of the 6 month diet. I didnt have an exact amount of weight to lose, but was terrified that insurance wouldn't approve if I didnt get my act together! Overall I gained 8 lbs from my first weigh in with the surgeon. Then I decided I needed to start mentally and physically preparing for my new life so although I would treat myself maybe once every 2 weeks or so and within limits, I started doing a high lean Protein very low carb, no more wine diet. My insurance papers were submitted with the 8 lb weight gain and I was still approved for surgery on April 4. Have lost about 10 lbs since the healthier eating though. So to answer your question, I think the last meal mentality shouldn't be an everyday occurrence but for me if there was something I really wanted I had it but not night after night like I did in the beginning. Hope that helps; good luck!
