 Did YOU do the whole 'last meal' thing?
As if you may never eat again, lol.

 I did some last meals prior to the pre-op protein diet I was on.  I was supposed to loose about 11 pounds pre-op.  The day before surgery I was weighed in and passed with pounds to spare.  The night before surgery I was told not to eat anything after midnight.  Then my "bad"   last meal occurred.

I am from upstate NY and love buffalo wings done right.  I was staying at a hotel near the hospital.  A Hilton Garden.  They have a restaurant in the hotel.  I didn't have a vehicle and there were few options in walking distance.  It was a Wednesday night and they had a wing special ... I think it was .45 cent wings or something a little less.  They mentioned that they also happened to use Texas Pete sauce.  I couldn't resist.  I ordered 10.  That was their minimum order size.  After the 10 I was feeling OK but kind of wanted more but not 10 more.  I explained the situation to the wait staff and they bent the rules and allowed me another 1/2 order of 5.  I ate them all.  I felt a little bad about it and was actually overly full.  I ate beyond when I should have stopped.  I really enjoy wings and that first batch of 10 was tasting so good.  That was my last meal the night before surgery.  I always have wondered if the surgeon could tell that I might have cheated that night.  These were eaten about 6pm and surgery wasn't until about noon the next day.  I have no idea how quickly things move through my system but I would guess that some evidence was left behind so to speak.  

Ever since I have been good with the exception that I still eat too fast.  Tonight I am a bit uncomfortable with having eaten two hard boiled eggs too quickly.  I am not sure if I can figure out how to slow myself down.  I really seriously need to work on that.

No.  Think about what you are doing.  You are changing your life. Get your head on right.  I started dieting 2 weeks before surgery.  Like getting a running start.  You will be saving your life & be given a new lease on life.  Go enjoy it.  So much joy is coming your way.  Good luck.

Yep, and I have zero regrets about it. And, all I had to do pre-op was a week of low carb/high protein with nothing the after midnight the night before. I was allowed to have a normal meal the night before my revision without any restrictions. It happened to be a day when my band allowed me to eat, and I did just that plus some.

since my son and I surgery was a week apart. 2 weeks before we went to the casino and had the buffet. I ate crab legs, shrimp, sushi, steak, potatoes, pizza, egg rolls, has two desserts, cherry pie.
No regrets. We knew we will not able to eat like this ever again. I say "enjoy"

 I did six weeks of last meals. I was doing great not gaining or losing until my surgeon removed my lap band. I babied my stomach for a week and then became ravenous for the next 6 weeks which also included Thanksgiving, Christmas and a few fabulous days in NYC. I gained 15 lbs in 6 weeks. I guess my unfilled lap band was provided me with some restriction.
