I should be getting my insurance approval this week. I am going to be starting my own self imposed two week preop diet next week. Today for dinner I had one chili dog with the bread and everything, and one hot dog with just chili no bread. I relished the hot dogs like I would never get to them again even though I know that I will, it just won't be the same when I get filled up after two bites. Sunday I will be having egg rolls as my very last

meal.

If all goes well (with insurance)I will be banded Oct. 13 in San Antonio,tx by Dr. Cavazos. I love this site thank you all for listening.....

hi! I so know what you mean. I have been thinking all week about what I can have each night as I am having surgery this Friday. I did not have to do a pre-op diet so I am still deciding on Thursday nights dinner. I think either rib eye from outback or logans or pasta from Provinos.:drool: I don't know but it will be good. Best of luck on your surgery.:rolleyes2:

hahah you crack me up! I did the SAME thing! That last week, I ate like it was my last week on earth! Red Lobster, steak, cheesecake, chocolate covered peanuts, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, Big Macs, Weinerschnitzel, cake, cookies, SODA, everything! I think we all do it to some extent

Lucky you... By the time I went to the doctor, I already had to start my 10 day pre-op diet, my 'last meal' was a salad with grilled chicken.

dont feel too bad I thought I could have a last meal closer than what actually happened. I am on 2 Protein shakes a day one protein meal for either lunch/dinner.

I was thinking god I would give ANYTHING to have 10 wings the night before my surgery.

Isn't that horrible, all I could think about is either a hamburger or pizza! LOL! 4 weeks later, I had my first pizza last night. I ate hamburger patties by themselves on week 3. Funny how nothing is ever as yummy as what you think it will be after 3-4 weeks! LOL!

Interestingly enough.. I haven't had applesauce in years and that tasted the best ever when I got to mushies and still eat some when I'm thirsty after a meal and can't have water.

My doc just said clear liquids the day before surgery, no other special restrictions, so 2 days before I went to my favorite German restaurant, had my favorite dish, favorite beer and favorite dessert. It was awesome. I look forward to going back soon and having just a bite of each of those from the spouse's plate. :-)

All you're doing is shooting yourself in the foot eating all that rich food....just more weight you'll have to lose on 'the other side'...but oh well! It's a myth that you won't be able to eat these favorite foods again...you will.

Last Supper Syndrome (LSS) has bitten me hard. I made my appointment for surgery on August 25th. Since that day, I have gained 10lbs. It's only been one month!!!!! :girl_hug:

My surgery is on November 5th, and even though I'm only required to do a 7-day pre-op diet, I think I'm going to start on October 5th. I've got to quit sodas and quit drinking beer before I get banded, and that might take a few weeks. Plus, if I don't stop eating everything in sight, I'm going to have to buy BIGGER clothes, LOL. :thumbup:
