tracie71 11 Posted June 19, 2013 WOW!! Thanks everyone for all the reassuring words. This makes me feel a lot better. Like I said' date=' I have cheated but it was with good choices, like a salad with no meat whatsoever, and fat free low calorie dressing. I am so glad I found this forum, it means the world to be able to go through this with people that have been there and know what you are going through. My surgery is Friday the 21st and am so excited to get this done. Please keep me in you rprayers.[/quote'] Best of luck for fri had my surgery sat 15th at day 4 post op still a little sore but well worth it I am 2 lbs from my 1st stone off. ( Includes pre op diet time) This is enough to keep me motivated my pre op diet contained no shakes all healthy foods so don't panic about one slip up. Keep up the good work also I worried about the anaesthetic also but a walk in the park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GuyMontag 1,264 Posted June 19, 2013 I was dying on my pre-op diet so I called my doc and asked if I could eat something like olives or almonds and he was like, sure, knock yourself out...just make sure you are still losing weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erinjkenben 8 Posted June 19, 2013 Here is something that will motivate you or at least help you pass the time on the pre-op diet...I am watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I like it...this poor soul has volunteered to be on a liquid diet for 60 days for the sake of his health and his film. Is he crazy?? I am only half way through the movie, but it is very good.

ladyann2323 16 Posted June 23, 2013 so what was the outcome did you get banded after the 14 days or did you have to wait longer because you cheated.....I'm freaking out becuase I want this done & over with I get banded in 4days & scared I will have to wait longer because I have cheated on my pre-op.

BigOBoy123 67 Posted June 23, 2013 Nope. Had my surgery Friday morning. I had lost 17lbs and to be honest I cheated a few times but with just a bite or two when I did cheat. My surgery went really well they said. 1 kll724 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
