I completely understand. i thought i was going to lose my mind. i did cheat one day as our whole neighborhood was having this huge cookout pre-easter and i was not going to sit there and watch everyone else eat. so yes i ate and ate. lol! and i was fine after that. got right back on board the next day and made it the rest of the week until my surgery day. don't feel bad if you cheat once, i am sure i was not the only one who cheated during the "fast".

yes, please dont condem yourself if you fall off the wagon once. just dont let it continue. get up dust yourself off and get back on track. i didnt cheat during my pre-op diet, but have i ate 100% perfect since the band NOPE! i dont beat myself up, i just keep on moving. this is a process and we cant change overnight! best wishes

I soooo feel u im on day 7 and i almost lost it yesterday too lol I went to cook dinner for my family and I soooo wanted to give in I took a chip put it in my mouth and spit it out but let me tell you the taste was AWESOME lol omg I can not wait but I guess like these ladies said it's all going to be worth it mashed potatoes and gravy down sound too bad but I wish you the best of luck and remember WE CAN DO THIS!

Don't worry, I am 8 days pre-op today. I was banded on August 2nd and my 1st visit isn't until the 17th. I called the office yesterday and spoke to the nurse pract, i told her i was getting hungry. YOU CANT advance to the next stage till next week. I'm like o.k.,but i had a 1/4 small curd cottage cheese for lunch it hurt a little after, but i defintly felt more fufilled. Are you getting enough protein?
