Last Meals

How many people on here have had or plan to have a last meal at a restaurant? On the other groups I belong to, they (some members) plan last meals and invite others to come. Although, I had many last meals between my consult and scheduled surgery which was about 6 weeks and gained 14 lbs from consult wt to surgery day wt.

Vicki~~I was just thinking about this whole "last supper syndome" My mother-in-law thinks that every time we get together it should be for "one more before" and she ALWAYS figures it should be at a buffet. "That way there'll be something for everyone" HA!!! All this comes from a woman who weighs in at 112 pounds with her purse She called me the other day to tell me that I shouldn't have this surgery because "it's just too dangerous". I told her it's too dangerous for me NOT to have the surgery. ~~I really don't want to go to a restaurant. I guess I'm tired of FEELING like everyone is watching me eat, and I feel that more at a restaurant. OMG~~~I detest (sp.?) the relationship that I have with food and ALL of the things it has done for me!!! BTW~~don't change the picture, I love it!! ~~~Linda~~~

I have plan on three last meals. I first one; at the Lone Star Steak House, second;Cracker Barrel, and my last one is will a family Thanksgiving Dinner in August. My only problem is the Uof Iowa won't do the surgery if you gain weight. Which sounds real strange to me. I have never been concerned about people watching me eat. Actually my weight has always been a reason to eat more. I have experienced waitress "Accidential bring me a diet coke" I figured they thought they were doing me a favor. But I always bring it to there attention. "Honey, If I drank diet pop would be this heavy." Once I became a diabetic I start drink diet pop and I didn't lose any weight go figure. I guess I am the get in your face kind of a girl. My theory is if you make them uncomfortable first they can't hurt my feelings. I can't wait untill I don't have to have those barriers any longer. Iam very concerned about after the surgery people watching my plate. But at this point it there problem

I really wanted my last meal to be Outback Steakhouse- bloomin' onion etc... but we didn't have a sitter so my real last meal was grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. I was always saying "Well, for old times' sake, lets eat here" etc in the monthes before my surgery... but I have come to realize that I can STILL eat at those places and the stuff I used to eat is still OK, just not the double portions, appetizers, 2 baskets of chips and 4 baskets of garlic bread that precede the meal.
