Are you planning any "last meals" of things you may not be able to eat after banding?

One of my favorite meals is German beef roulades and sticky dumplings. The beef is not the most tender, and from what I've heard may be difficult to eat with the band, and the dumplings probably aren't very band friendly either. So I asked my mom to make this for me.

Also going out with my husband for a good steak dinner at Ruth's Chris.

Now that I finally have my surgery date which is April 18th I think I am going to have a final meal!

Yep. Went to NYC Chinatown to the Peking Duck House. Had some amazing Peking Duck. Nom nom nom!! Tomorrow, I'm going for my all time fave pancakes before I start the two week liquid pre-op diet.

Technically I know I could probably eat duck again but without the wrapper. The pancakes, I'm not so sure about, so definitely want to get them in!

I had a MONTH of eating like crazy, but my very last meal before my preop diet was a trip to Fudruckers and I ate a huge burger, chili cheese fries, AND I helped my boyfriend finish off a chili dog. :regular_smile:

I had a rib steak, which I prefer medium-rare. My husband, bless his heart, didn't watch it carefully and made it well done -- which kind of ruined it for me. Still, it's not as if I haven't eaten a zillion steaks before, so at least I have the memory of some cooked the right way!

The Yukon Gold baked potato that I had with it was divine, though.

Tomorrow is my last day and my job is throwing me a last meal spring fling party! So I'm going to enjoy myself because Friday is my surgery!

I went to my favorite Mexican restaurant and had tacos and enchiladas, since tacos might be a tough item to eat once I had the surgery! It was the best.

16 pounds down since my pre-op date of April 3rd, 13 pounds since my surgery on April 7th. Im happy to say it will be worth it!

I had a last couple 'weeks' instead of a last meal. It was a long, sweet, FULL couple weeks. I think I might have pulled a muscle in my stomach because it huuuuuurt from eating so much. Can't believe I admitted that....
