I'm stressing out about gaining weight before surgery. Can't seem to stay in control. Also, my eating habits are way out of wack. Anyone experience this???

I had the same thing i was told it is the last meal syndrom. You want to eat everything one last time before you cant eat it any more. After i was told that I was able to stay in control a little better. Dana

Pamela, Hi! My date is also 02/03/04. I'm having some of those feelings too about wanting to eat all my "favorite" foods, but at least for me, I guess all food is my favorite (unfortunately). The truth is that food just hasn't been tasting as good to me lately and hasn't been giving me the same comfort as it has in the past. My hips and back and knees hurt so badly, there's nothing that tastes as good as being pain free will feel. That's what is helping me get through this time right now. Also I keep looking at the postop pictures of other people and read about how well they're doing now and that helps to give me strength to turn away from "favorite" foods. Good luck! I'll keep you and the other 02/03/04 people in my prayers that day. -Judi H
