Please tell me I am being normal for wanting to eat a big steak dinner before I have my surgery or a DQ blizzard... In all honesty, how many out there had their last hurrah meals. I am just a curious george wanting to know! They told me to put blinders on but, come on, really???

Photo... It's a long time out, and that means that you can make it easier on yourself by practicing new behaviors now. Trust me... folks to go "cold turkey" on the last day are chosing a more difficult pate!

Thanks everyone for your feedback!!! 3 weeks from tomorrow I'll be sleeved!!! I really can't wait and after I posted about eating my favorites, I have yet to do any!!! Crazy, the games our minds play!!! I only have a few things on my "food bucket list" and probably won't eat all of them. I've already lost the required weight and so I haven't really been dieting hard. I've been doing my walking and eating, just a whole lot less than I used to. We went out to eat last night and I ordered a taco salad. Don't touch the shell, only a little dab of the sour cream, and, maybe 1/2 of the meat, salsa, onions, tomatoes and lettuce! I was stuffed and so pushed it away!!! Used to be able to polish one off without a problem! So all in all, I'm ready!!! Thanks again and Happy Holidays everyone!!

Great, MNM. Keep plugging along!

Completely understandable! I was sleeved on 11/20..before Thanksgiving, so I made some turkey and stuffing for myself 2 weeks before! I also went through last meal trips with McDonald's, Taco Bell, CheeseCake Factory...your feelings are completely normal! And there were more places and more food types I wanted to eat, but didn't because of my pre-op fast.

I now know that, eventually I will eat a small amount of anything I want, (except for popcorn) and that it will feel SO GOOD not to be able to overeat ANYTHING!

Hang in there,

Start working on the fat brain (that we all have). If you really work on it, you CAN "eat around" the sleeve and regain the weight.

BUT, YOU are more powerful than your fat brain (My fat brain's name is Skippy)...
