While the mindset I have on food consumption has changed greatly over the past year, I still want one last hurrah. I live on the Water and seafood is a staple. I know I am going to have to start my liver shrinking diet on January 7th, but the weekend before I think I am going to go out and order a softball sized crab cake, even if I can only get half of it down.

Do you have a last meal you are going to eat before you start your pre op?

Heck ya lol I think most of us have...mine was about a week long well almost by day 5 I had to tap I no longer wanted burgers pizza donuts pasta cookies ....enjoy and congrats on your new life in the new year!

Yep, I had a night out with friends and family and another just with a girlfriend; lobster, steak, wine, it was lovely :-) Enjoy!

My preop diet lol. It was atkins induction style, which is heaven for me. I ate all the meat, cheese, and deviled eggs I could handle. Cheese is still my nemesis. I will make it an entire meal or two if it is in the house.

I went out for a 32 oz porterhouse dinner before I started my liquid diet...creamed spinach, chop salad, garlic mashed potatoes...I ate it all. This seems to be a common phenomenon with many if us...the good news is I can still eat steak...just 3 oz instead of 32...still satisfying and delicious..

Ahhh...The "last supper syndrome! "

Almost all of us have done it. Mine lasted for 3 or 4 days. I had dieted so hard before surgery and lost almost 40 lbs. When it came right down to surgery time, I wanted all of my favorites one last time. I gained 11 lbs by the time I had my pre op meeting. The nurse blamed it on a different scale but I was mortified! I had 1 week to lose it before surgery which I did. I had no pre op diet by the way. Anyway, you are not alone. Just don't do what I did!

These are great stories!

I really want a 32 oz porterhouse now..
