Anyone know how to manage or get rid of the dread last supper syndrome were I am compelled to devour eveything and anything in fear of never being able to eat again and a fear of feeling hungry (probably for the first time in a long time)

Hum! Its normal! Just scare yourself. I lost 50 pounds pre op and continued till the last week before surgery but then when my surgeon operated, he said my liver was really big! So that junk food i binged on the week before was bad afterall! Imagine if it was too big to put my lap band on.

I had the last supper syndrome and then I had to do my 10 day liquid preop and my liver and body started to shrink. Be very careful. But do reember you still should be able to eat your favorites in moderation after banding.

I had that feeling also, but the day I got aproved I had had a tooth pulled and had to start my 10 day pre diet the next day! I think the quicker you start it the better. I got my band 4/4 and am getting ready for my first fill tomorrow. I do not feel like I am missing out on anything. Just be strong and start your journey...good luck
