Ive been on a low carb diet for a week and when I went for my weighin at the clinic I actually gained 1 lb. I could'nt believe it. I did not cheat at all. The rules are at clinic is that you cannot gain any weight before surgery. Since I gained 1 lb they moved my surgery up one week to March 31. I have to go back before the surgery to make sure I lost that lb. I don't know what to do. I am still going to follow the diet and hope I can lose the weight.

Are you required to do that pre-op liquid diet before your surgery? Congratulations by the way.

Good luck. Mine is scheduled for March 31st at 1 pm Boston time. However I have one more test on the 23rd and unless that one is OK I won't be able to have lapband at all. That would leave bypass or sleeve for me, which are definately NOT my first choice. Keep your fingers crossed. Kim:confused:
