1. Are you over eating? Don't make the mistake of "I need to have my last meal" you will be able to eat again. You have to get your mind set right! Put that old fat food down and start making healthier choices

@@tammie30 it's really easy to get into the idea of bingeing before we start our pre-op diet. Didn't we all have this mindset at one time or another? How about the thought "Oh I'm starting a diet on Monday so I'm going to enjoy this entire pizza tonight!" Yes, I would have a hard time believing anyone who has been obese that didn't find themselves saying this exact thing at one point in their life.

That said, you really must take a moment and reflect on why you have gained the 10 pounds. You'd have to be eating quite a bit of food above what you are burning off for the day since there are 3,500 calories in one pound of fat. Some of that might be Water but I would really doubt the entire 10 Lbs is Water. I encourage you to stop what you are doing ASAP and get right with your eating and get some workouts in.

May I also remind you that you will be weighed in pre-operatively for accuracy records, and some surgeons will cancel your surgery for gaining too much weight. They have to see around the fat in your belly area to excise your stomach as well as suturing the area. Save yourself while you still have time!
