I did ask the dr. today, and he said that it was fine, for some reason they are not concerned with me at all. He said what ever you eat will be digested...what ever that means!!! But he said that i could eat what i wanted...my main problem is not eating enough..and when i do, it seems to be the wrong things...so...we are all good to go. I would like to thank those who repsonded!!!!

Good for you asking him (taking the high road!) And I'm glad he gave you the green light too. I'd guess (just a guess here..don't know for sure) that he means you're eating far enough preop that you won't have undigested food in your system when he does surgery (that's quite risky!) So enjoy your meal.

I don't think one meal would hurt. Your surgery is on the 17th/

From everything that my doctor told me, its not about cheating, its about making sure that your band heals into place and you dont do anything that you might threaten that with. If you eat something and your busy chatting away and socializing you might not chew it enough. if you gag or throw up it isnt going to be worth it. there are lots of ways to socialize without threatening everything you have worked for. My advice is dont risk it.

You are right RayeP...but she is PRE op and hasn't been banded yet. Once she has the band your advice will surely apply! :crying:
