Okay, how many people "pigged out" on food prior to the pre-op diet? I start mine on Feb 14th and I find that I am eating all kinds of food and eating more than prior to getting insurance approval for surgery. Once I got the approval, I noticed that I've fallen into some old eating habits. I just hope I can quit after my new stomach heals.

I didn't binge or anything but my last couple days before surgery I ate all my favorite foods knowing it would be a long time or never before I could have them again. Like for dinner the one night I had black and bleu steak. I had hot wings for lunch the one day..... Stuff like that.

Haha, man I'm going through the same thing. I'll tell myself, nope can't eat that...then that little voice says "Mark, you may never get to eat that again" so I'll get a little bit. No crazy over stuffing, and recently I've still been hitting under my daily limits for calories and losing a few ounces here and there. 3 days left...3...days...left...I can't believe how fast this has gone, then I'll start my liquid diet.

Here is my honest answer. I didn't pig out and through my three week (extended by a week to schedule proble with surgeon) I seriously regretted not having any food funerals and dreamed about what I should have ate!
