Is anyone else GAINING weight before banding?

Last Supper Syndrome is so very common. And so very not needed. You will be able to have your favorite foods again. Just not in the amounts you have them now.

And really, are the amounts you are having now working for you? I don't think so.

By gaining before surgery, you are only hurting yourself. Possibly risking having your surgery cancelled. We all know tht yo-yo diets are bad for us, well gaining right before surgery and then losing it right away is another yo-yo. Certainly not a goal of good health that we are shooting for by having band surgery.

UPDATE!!

I finally dared to step on the scale last night and I have not gained a single pound. I could hardly believe it, so I stepped off and on a bunch of times just to verify it!

I am so relieved, I really was thinking I had packed on the pounds!

It must have been all mental, while I was recognizing my "last supper" behavior, maybe?

Oh!! All that stressing, and for nothing! I'm glad for you.

I had a bit of "last supper syndrome" but not too bad. I didn't really pig out or anything... just had some things that I would be most likely to have problems with. I did have steak a few times in the last few weeks-- and I went to the BEST steak place in town. And I brought much of it home in a doggy bag anyway and just savoured it over the next few days. Hopefully I'll be able to eat steak again, but just in case... :wink2:
