Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 1pm and I'm craving a chicken sandwich and some hot fries! I'm so hungry.

It's totally relatable and totally inconvenient!! Just try to focus on your day and the life changing journey that you're about to embark on. Sip your fluids and relax! You got this.

This is good in that you will have some practice ignoring or redirecting cravings before you have surgery. I find that busying my mind is the best way to get around the cravings.

Go start some sh*t with a rando person and be like yeah, I'm hungry mofo, what you got to say about that? I got the craving craziness inside me!

J/K just injecting some levity in here. Seriously though, good luck with surgery and your journey!!

I did the "Last Meal" thing as well. My thought at the time was "I will NEVER have a sandwich again....". I went to my favorite Bagel & Deli for a Taylor Ham & Cheese. I Did savor the meal, yes. I say all of that to disclose this - now I can NOT Stand the taste of Taylor Ham. I do still stop by the Deli occasionally, but the scooped out Bagel with Chicken Salad will last a full day or more.

WLS has taught me to enjoy the TASTE without requiring the VOLUME. It has freed me to actually enjoy the flavors that are in foods, and make better choices (Salmon -v- Hamburger), and be HAPPY with removing some foods from my diet forever (Rice, Processed Deli Meats, greasy meats, etc.) without looking back in regret or "showing willpower". Change has been VERY VERY GOOD to me.

Don't Stress, be excited for your New Life Journey

Thanks you guys for the encouragement and the funny words of wisdom LOL. I'll keep you guys posted.
