last day to eats

• Tomorrow will be my last meal (I feel like ever). Is it bad of me to want to go out to a nice restaurant and really enjoy it? I start my 2 week liquid diet Wednesday.

I say go for it. It won't be your last enjoyable meal but for the next year it will seem like it. The first year I thought I would never be normal again. Now I am more attentive to what I eat and I eat a lot healthier than I did before surgery, but I do enjoy my food and my life. Have your last "anything goes" and then you can look back and realize that it wasn't really that important after all. 

Go for it!Good luck with the pre op diet!

I ate, a couple of meals. I kept in mind I will be able to eat all these things again, and that helped my sense of loss. I chose things that will be harder to eat - pizza and cheese bread, or that I shouldn't/don't plan on eating - nachos french and fries.

I was lucky when sleeved and realized it wasn't my last meal.  I did eat at a restaurant I really liked and knew the meal was way higher in carbs than I hoped to every consume in one setting again.  I have eaten there since and share the meal with a grand kid now instead of hording all the goodness for myself. 

I considered having a last meal, but decided I was liking the pre-surgery weight loss more.  But after a few months, at times, I kind of wish I had done it, as eating tiny meals does get old.  So I'd say go for it if you want to.

I just went on a cruise for my one year surgiversary, and I ate many excellent meals.  I couldn't eat large meals, and I avoided carbs as best I could. But I ate everything - breads, deserts meats, veggies, appetizers.  You will find a new normal, and you will have many excellent, enjoyable meals in the future.  The next 6 months will be challenging, as you get used to your new tummy, but it does get better.  The new health and mobility is worth it!  big time!

I certainly did. It didn't even derail my pre-op weight loss - one meal won't do that. 

My husband took me out for Italian and it was wonderful. I ate half of my meal and had a glass of wine. It was one of our best date nights. It was important to me to feel like I had control and closure with one of my favorite activities. It is different for everyone. Best of luck!

I too went out for a last meal-total carbs-pasta, bread, salad, wine and dessert. I do not regret it for one second. It was special and my husband and I really enjoyed it. I am in the midst of my pre-op diet now and when I crave carbs, I remind myself of the meal and it helps. I would make it an enjoyable evening and go out. You will look back on it when you are on your pre-op diet and not feel so deprived.

I agree with everyone above. ..got for it...your right it will be a very very  long time before you can do it again.... enjoy!!!!!
