What did you have/are having as your last meal?!

Aye-aye...

I never felt a need for a fattening high caloric "last meal"; I just had a sensible supper.

This was only a pre-WLS diet, I wasn't on death row. I knew that after the post WLS diet phases I can enjoy the same foods again, just in smaller quantities and for many, less frequently.

I already enjoyed too many high calorie meals in the past, which helped contribute to my obesity.

Same. I felt as if I'd eaten more than my share in my 40 years on earth. I was so ready to start my weight loss "journey", I started my pre-op diet two weeks early. I was on it for a full month pre-op.

Never regretted a moment of it, either.

At three years out, there are very few foods I can't eat, and I don't even want those any more.

That said, it's a very unpopular trend around here to advise people to follow their doctor's plans, to not over indulge, to think about the logic of splurging on unhealthy choices just before WLS...

So my new opinion is -- EAT what you want!

Personally? I'm in it to win it.

I'd also quit smoking a couple of months before. I didn't reward the milestone with a cigarette.

Word.

I honestly don't remember my last big meal pre-op, but I remember my meal last night: Pasta with chicken, shrimp and sausage.

I can't think of a single food I don't still enjoy.

I'm 100 pounds down, maintaining at 135.

Best to you!

My pre-op diet consisted of restricted meals. But my last "splurge" meal was at a restaurant called Fogo de Chao which my friends had planned to take me to at some point. It's a Brazilian steakhouse and they literally bring meat on skewers continuously while you have your little "chip" flipped to the green side. Flip it to the red side and they stop.

It was sooooo good. I tried hard to avoid anything that wasn't Protein just because it was technically my first day of the pre-op diet.

That is seriously the only gluttony I miss. meat on a stick. Endless meat on a stick.

But as expensive as that was (and delicious!!), thin is still better.

But daaaang....loved me some meat on a stick.

I'm planning on going to the Cheesecake Factory baby!

@@Kaze ...

I love your tagline: "You are the pain and the medicine."

@@VSGAnn2014 It's a song lyric that spoke to me about my ex-best friend, lol. It's "Save My Soul" by JoJo.

I want the rainbow line!!!! BAD.

I don't know if I'll have a "last meal" but if I do it will be pizza from my favorite place (thankfully it's an hour away so it's not somewhere we go often) or pasta (Alfredo or Carbonara). Italian food is incredible where I live.

With a big hunk of Italian bread w/ butter!

I made jumbo noodles with Spaghetti sauce and Alfredo sauce. It is amazing, thought about just gorging myself tonight but I'm done full off a small plate. Thats ok with me liquid to start tomorrow!

Were all the toppings okay for you post op?

They were fine at 9 weeks. I was cleared for all foods at 7 weeks post op. I haven't done pizza toppings again yet, but I definitely will, probably this weekend in fact as I have a couple of big-eater male friends coming to visit and who am I to stand in their way of a late night pizza. I'll probably have one or two slices of pizza toppings (depending on the toppings) and throw the crust on their plates. I really don't have room for the bread part and I don't need it to feel happily pizza-fied.

I lost plenty of weight eating pizza toppings on Atkins in the past and I've basically put myself back on a low carb/high fat diet now. It works best for me.
