Eating like its my last meal ever HELP!

No judgement here, I had my food funerals too, but I was able to avoid hurting myself or my preparation process to do it.    

I just wonder if, like my good friend, you might do well to line yourself up with a counselor or therapist?   She found that working through some of her emotional eating issues before the surgery really jump started her whole program.  She tells me she went into her surgery better prepared and has lost "175 lbs and 40 years of bad attitudes," in a little over 2 years.

She's an inspiration to me, and her success led me to this wonderful journey. 

Best wishes on your health, and congrats on getting your date.  Look forward to sharing the losers bench with you.

I have surgery next week and have been having that problem. I will be fine then just eat or say, this is my last -----.

I am not really on a pre-op diet until two days before, but I may put myself on one.

You will be fine!

 I'm guilty of this, too. My big love in the food world is an ice-cold Pepsi Throwback (real sugar, not corn syrup). Bet I drank a case and a half in the last month, knowing that I won't be able to drink it again. Put on three pounds. Since starting my 7-day liquid diet I have not craved it once. I also treated myself to a pork tenderloin, a cheeseburger and a filet minon in the two weeks before my pre-op diet. I knew I was going to do it, didn't go overboard as much as I thought I would, and moved on. You will, too.

I've been doing similar things....though my gall bladder has had enough and will no longer let me (spent last night in major pain for 6 hours - no sleep til 6:30 AM!!!!) I'm going to have my gall bladder removed at the same time.  But, I know exactly what you mean.  Each day I'm thinking to myself "hmmmm, what do I want to have today that I know I'll never be able to eat in large quantities again?"  Unfortunatey (or actually fortunately), it doesn't look like I'll be able to keep that up.  Don't beat yourself up, have your food funerals occasionally, and just get yourself psyched for surgery.  And don't gain weight.  My surgeon will cancel your sugery if you gain more than 10 lbs while waiting for surgery.

We all are guilty of this...my food funeral was that of the Melting Pot, chocolate fondue I had this twice in one week!  Its definitely psychological...when the date gets closer you will conform! Plus you have some time.
