U know.. A list of foods that u want to have one last time b4 surgery??

I have a few... Egg nog, coffee milk, a small piece of a steak and cheese grinder and this SUPER rich Italian chicken dish that I only have once a year. I just want a small sample for each im waiting for insurance approval and hoping for a Dec date.

Well... no. I didn't make a food bucket list. I did go to 2 of my favorite resturants the week before I started my liquid diet though. I didn't want food to control me anymore... thats why I'd decided to have surgery, so I decided not to stuff myself and not to go crazy nuts and gain 10 pounds extra.

Another thing that I know I did pre-surgery, and right after, that now that I'm on the other side I learned is a misconception... you can still eat nearly everything again eventually. You will have to let go of somethings because they fill you up fast (rice, Pasta, etc.) but, I can eat anything again, just a lot less of it. Which is both a blessing and a curse.

Oh yes. It was quite extensive.

It might sound silly, but I feel like I really needed to be able to say "good bye" to my favorite foods. I feel like I have closure on that part of my life and I move on to the healthy part.

I did make and have a bucket list but not for food. More for things I want to do as lose the weight.

I made a mental 'gotta eat this before surgery' list but haven't had most of it honestly. I've been really focused on eating healthy and have managed to lose 20lbs pre op. I did have a few splurge days- olive garden, all you can eat sushi (my fav thing ever is sushi!) but thank goodness I didn't go crazy with last meal syndrome. I still really want to have a piece of banana cake from my favorite bakery, though I'm not sure if that will happen because they might still be having issues because of the hurrcaine but if not I'll be okay lol.

Oh and btw I LOVE coffee milk. An old friend of mine from RI introduced me to it years ago and I fell in love! I wish they would make sugar free coffee syrup! Lol

I just want a taste.of a few.things... Other than that Im focused like u ladies... I keep thinking Ive had years if this stuff, time to give it up. Its part of the reason that Im overweight (okay... Obese)

Im from RI and lovvve coffee milk. Good idea on the sugar free version.

I did . . . but I didn't follow through on it!

I decided to have wls surgery because I was ready to make a change. Having a "last supper" or splurging on bad-4-me foods felt like a step backwards. Plus I did that right before every other "failed" attempt in the past. I wanted this time to be different! I'm ready and committed to making life long changes starting from the day I walked into the info session! That was three months ago, I've lost 40+ pounds, my surgery is 11/7 and I'm pumped and ready!

I did not. It was weird but something just snapped for me. I did not want to weigh this much any more, eat that way any more, look that way-etc. I was done, done, so done. I went on the pre-op diet the day I saw the surgeon for the first time & have followed it to the letter since then with the exception of a glass of wine! That doesn't mean I may not stumble but I feel like I got this incredible chance to hit the 'reset button'!

I didn't make a list, but I found myself justifying certain choices that I NEVER would've allowed in my last 5 years of fairly strict dieting. Lately though, something clicked & I just don't love food anymore. I really want a divorce from it, frankly.

I didn't want to waste the food in my freezer so I just make a meal out of everything in there.

I have a restaurant last meal list, cause I know after the procedure it will be a total waist to go because of the sheer volume of food they serve is insane

Many of us had the last supper!! I would highly recommend that you also make a food 'trigger' list. The foods that you should never eat again or the foods you know to be trouble. I have a longer list for that one! And it has been a HUGE help to me to delete those foods from my life after surgery.

I decided that for the next month or so I will not put so much focus into my food.We all know what its like to eat and feel guilty or bad about everything that we consume. I will for a long time after my surgery have to be very careful and diligent on what I eat. I just wanted some time when I dont obsess about food.It has been very nice so far!

I love going to resturants still. I love that a meal from my favorite resturants now turns into 1 or 2 more meals. To me, it actually makes it more worth the money! My fiance and I try to share a meal if we're out and won't be able to get it home to the frige in a resonable time, but most of the time I just end up with delicious leftovers!

That's one thing I'm looking forward to being able to do! Getting more meals out of what used to be one...

I already tend to get 2 meals from a restaurant meal so I'm sure it will be much more after I'm sleeved.
