I had two, my favorite home cooked meal and fast food.

Home cooked meal was Mac and cheese, roast chicken and rice & peas.

Fast food was shake shack, double cheeseburger, with cheese fries and a strawberry shake.< /p>

The idea of the fast food gives me an upset stomach thinking about it now!

WOW! You are rather inspirational! My surgery was postponed 6 weeks out, and I'm mopping. Was on high Protein no carb and no fruit. So I added the fruit back in and now have carb cravings again. What I should do is like you and stick to the plan...Bravo!

I had a Protein shake.

I started my pre-op diet a month early because I was anxious to get started on weight loss. I also know how hungry and miserable I used to be after a huge binge day and I didn't want to do that to myself as I was prepping for surgery. I followed my NUT's plan for 6 months, started my pre-op and had no problems transitioning down to low carb, high Protein and then all liquids.

I had one binging session 3 months prior to the surgery, when I was on my NUT eating plan. Next day I felt horrible about it and decided there is no way I would do that again, because I didn't want to feel bad about anything related to what I hoped to be the best decision in my life. :)

From that point I sticked to my pre-op diet and now I feel the same about the post-op one.

So here is the cool thing about my sleeve. I LOVED LOVED LOVED appetizers and often had what we called "bar food" night at my house.

I STILL love appetizers and now I have an excuse to order them at restaurants and make them at home more frequently because bite sized portions are perfect for me. I can't eat nearly as much but I ALWAYS have apps. Saves me a ton of $$ when dining out, too.

That's exactly WHY I did it. I was supposed to have surgery mid April and the doctor's office "forgot" to submit my paperwork. I pushed it and had it scheduled mid May but I started my pre-op on the date my original surgery dictated. I was determined to get to where I am now and I don't regret it.

I started my liquid diet the day I got back from vacation. I was so worried about gaining weight during my vacation that I started the diet 4 days early. By this point, I was so excited and so ready to start my weight loss, I didn't even think about all the foods I was never going to eat again. I had made my peace to food throughout my 6 month process. Of course, I was under the impression that I would not be allowed to have surgery if I weighed more than I weighed on my initial appointment. It wasn't until AFTER my surgery that I found out it really was I couldn't weigh more than I did on my surgery consult (one week prior to surgery)...but I am glad I didn't know that at the time or I would have eaten everything.

Wow, this is a hot topic! How interesting it is that some of us needed to have that last binge to get it out of the system, and others didn’t want to because it would just need to be undone with more dieting.

I didn’t have much of a “last supper.” It wasn’t so much because I was afraid of the consequences, but because I was just sick of my old self and eating habits. I was ready to move forward.

Astrosgirl, whatever you decided, I hope it was great! Good luck with your pre-op diet and surgery – let us know how it goes.

I didn't have a "last supper" I immediately started a liquid diet two weeks prior to surgery. I had zero appetite just like now. My situation was a bit different. I lost 159lb on weight watchers kept if off for 8 years had a horrible injury gained weight and decided to go this route. So I haven't had a splurge since 2006 lol enjoy

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
