Yes you should be fine. I cheated as well. My husband came back from Iraq and we had a big party for him. I cheated with chips and dip, taco with avocado, margarita and alot of other things. Oh yeah a chocolate covered strawberry like 3 of them. I was banded on July 14th and my recovery and surgery are great. Just make sure to stay on the liquid for the two weeks so you do not upset your stomach which can make you feel nauseated. Good luck in your journey.

I feel the same way as you. Recently I have been thinking obviosely it must be meant to be, due to me getting approved by the insurance. So I will do it on July14th. This is the last straw I wish you the best of luck in your decision.

Wow thanks, thats very encourageable. I was thinking of doing wls first I thought maybe my weight had something to do with the healing process cause I am so heavy.

Hi Everyone: Anyone's opinion is greatly appreciated. I had emergency ankle surgery 2 years ago because I fell down a hill. The recovery since then has been tough because I always felt I had a limp. Well I recently fell again and when I went to the Dr. he told me I would need another operation because it did not heal correctly and the ligament tore. If I get another ankle surgery I would be off my foot for 6 weeks. :tongue: Well I had scheduled wls on July 14th, but my ortho dr is telling me I should get this done first. I do not know what to do, I really want wls because I am tired of being this way. FAT I just do not know if my Bariatric surgeon would be willing to do the surgery when I can't exercise. People please share your thoughts. Thanks so much

Did you cheat at all?

Really what kind of pre-op diet did you follow.

OMG I think I saw you in his office one day, but I may be wrong. I am also being banded on July 14th. Are you in the military? Let me know how it goes?
