Last Supper Syndrome.... Help!
I didnt have the 'last supper syndrome' until 2 weeks before my 2 week liquid pre-op. Many surgeons have rules against gaining weight before you have surgery etc so I would make sure you know what your surgeon says before you go eating it up :-) I wanted to be as healthy as possibly for the surgery so I started to lose weight, work out and develop better eating habits post-op. But... when those last 2 weeks of eating arrived... I ate myself SICK... it wasnt a big deal to me... figured for the past 9 months I had been 'good' 2 weeks of 'bad' wouldnt kill me!
First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1
2 week pre-op 252 ~ bmi 39.5
Total lost - 153 Since surgery - 117!
Goal weight - 155 (mine) 180 (surgeons)
Current weight - 135 (2020 I lost 10lbs due to dedicating myself to working out more and being in better shape)
1/14/2025 still maintaining 135 :-)

I, also, experienced this to some degree, but I was a bit harsher on myself. I kept saying to myself, "look at yourself, you've had 43 years of last suppers" and the disgust in myself changed my mind. As for the "never gonna' have again's", yes, you can, but it's going to be up to you to say no or limit it to 2 m&m's, not the whole bag. Even though I'm only 2 months out, it's easier now, I really don't feel like junk, my appetite just isnt there. One thing I did though that I dont know if it made sense, I walked the frozen food aisle in WalMart and said goodbye to the things I loved. I welled up in front of the pizza, but guess I've not missed it that much, I don't even crave it anymore. Good luck to you.

OMG- Nancy- I walked down the frozen desert aisle in WalMart and said my good byes to ice cream/pies/cakes, etc....It actually was not sad for me- I felt empowered for1 of the first times- I was glad to say good bye and welcome healthy changes....but I sure did do the stroll down that aisle 1 last time.....
