Don't beat yourself up! it's so hard to suddenly say goodbye to everything! You are mainly trying to shrink the liver and make it easier/ safer for the doctor to do your surgery. I, as well as others, did a 'final meal' halfway between to 14 day fast; I split a rib eye and salad at a nice restaurant with my Hub; no harm done. Those foods are'nt gone forever and you won't even want them for a really long time. Be proud, you are on the road to a new life, learn to deal with disappointments gently so you can weather the bigger ones!

I had several kidney stones a few months after, they are intense! a Urologists told me to stop taking the Calcium supplement I began taking as part of my Lap Band regimine. I have family history of osteoperosis and its common for doctors to advise us LB's to take a good Vitamin and calcium supplement to offset are new diet. Turns out my calcium levels didn't need the extra help. I sympathize with you!
