Right now I'm struggling because it seems i have problems with real food, but hershey bars go down no problem! But i tell everyone at work that i've lost weight by basically cutting out sugar.

I cheated pre-op. I didn't give up smoking and I didn't cut back on my food in-take.

A friend of mine has recently been banded and is quite open about it, but I haven't told her that I was. I ask very innocent and obvious questions.

I sure as hell hope I don't end up at the clinic the same time she is there for a fill.

How is this for a confession:

[MrsFlipFlops 2]

Susan, now there's a confession I can work with! :tongue: Looks great!

When people ask how I've lost the weight, I tell them Portion Control. It IS controlled!

Now for something non band related: Whenever I cook something I pretend I'm on a cooking show and when no one's home, I talk like I'm freaking Paula Deen or something. LOL I imagine having a band friendly show on food Network. That'd be nice. :sad_smile: Does that make me crazy?

I love this...! It's so sitcomish. I would expect it to be something Seinfeld would do a show on or something! :sad_smile: Good luck! I hope you don't run into her!

I was supposed to diet for one week prior to my surgery, but I went on vacation instead and ate anything I wanted to. Then the day before my surgery, I fasted and ate nothing. It made little difference in the surgery outcome. I think they tell everyone to diet before surgery to lessen the fatty tissue around the stomach, and to prepare you for less eating ahead of time, but it doesn't matter.

there are days i really have a hard time controlling my frustration with people who say STUPID things without knowing what they are talking about... that's my confession....

I think my surgeon who went to university for MANY years and is a leading bariatric surgeon in Australia (where banding has happened for many years longer than some other countries, the US included) would beg to differ with your "it doesn't matter" comment. The reason for a pre op diet is to reduce the fat around your liver which lies above the stomach when you lay down. Obese people tend to lose weight from around their internal organs before they lose it visibly externally. Hence why you can lose A LOT of weight on a pre op diet and not notice it on the outside. My surgeon would have sewn me back up on the spot if my liver was too big to move to get to my stomach when he cut me open, and has been known to do that where it has been required on patients who have obviously disobeyed the pre op diet requirements and still have a fatty liver like you did. Moving it in surgery can pose a number of risks if its not less fatty.

I think what you have said DOESN'T MATTER because you don't have your facts right.

No picking at the confessions...were letting them out and moving on from them...

[She Smiles 2]

A confession is one thing, but saying that a Dr's orders don't matter is another thing altogether.....
