Did anyone have the last supper (dinner) before they started the pre-op diet?

I ate a few things I thought I would never be able to eat again. I don't have a problem eating most things though so I wouldn't have had to do that. I would suggest if you want something that you won't be able to eat a lot of, have a hamburger or something with bread. Bread is something hard to eat after banding.

Good Luck with your surgery, and let us know how things went for you.

I am still in the beginning stages of my lapband process and have already thought about a "farewell to food tour"! Try to keep telling myself this is not the right attitude to have to start a new life style but somehow I keep mapping out my restaurant tour.

I said goodbye to a whole slew of different foods. I did not want to feel deprived later on. Hey I found out that some of them I do not think I will actually miss all that much afterall. I will be a different person in respect to food after and this for me is just the important process.:ohmy:

Funny, I was thinking that very same thing today. Should I have a last meal or not, I probably will have a big plate of spaghetti, being Italian I will miss Pasta, even though I have already cut it out and haven't had any for about 6 weeks...my grandmother probably just turned in her grave!!!:ohmy:

I just want to eat at my favorite restaurant since I have no idea when I will get there again post op. We go there once a month or so since it is out of town. I always order the same thing, a petit filet mignon (5oz) with baked potato and salad. The filet is so tender and moist that it literally melts in your mouth. Yumm!

I've been saying goodbye to my favorite foods, and some not so favorite. Been eating a ton of salads, I know I will miss them alot!

I haven't been told about a pre-surgery diet other than nothing to eat or drink after midnight before the day of surgery.

Wonder if I'm missing anything?

Actually though, I'm cleaning out the kitchen and had planned to start getting used to the Protein shakes this coming week.

The night before my pre-op 2 week diet I ate a t-bone steak, mushroom and garlic bread. I figured it might be the last barbequed steak I'd ever eat. It was delicious. I also contemplated having Burger King, but opted for the steak.

I had two meals the two days before I started my pre-op diet that I thought I might never have again. Outback No-Rules Pasta and pizza. I don't miss the pasta, but I love pizza so much. Oh well...the pizza obviously never loved me back! :ohmy:

Yes I did also. I had the Pasta that I am going to miss, and the BBQ also. I gained back about 4 lbs because of it but I don't regret it now that I have been banded for 6 days and lost those 4 lbs plus 20 more on the liquid diet! :grouphug:

I had my last supper a few days before my surgery. I remember what I had suprisingly...a steak, some crab legs and a huge potato. LOL, I am glad I did because the whole steak thing is hard now.

      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!!
