Its her 3rd day of her pre-op diet and I wouldn't stop at Mcdonalds for her, so she could get some fries. Everyone else I know cheated on their diet she said.:thumbup:

I have not cheated and my surgery date is tomorrow!! Yeah!! I have lost 27lbs on my pre-op plan too! Just try to comfort her and reassure her that she can do this and this IS the beginning. The lap band is only going to do 50%. She will be the other 50%. Wishing her luck!

Honestly...I know my husband loves me to death but he has never had a weight problem so he doesn't know what any of this is like and I just wish he would have told me "no" on the times I've wanted to gorge myself on things that were no good for me. He didn't want me to be mad at him but what he didnt realize was that I would have gotten over being mad and I would have thanked him afterwards. I've tried to explain to him that I am no different than a drug addict or alcoholic. food was my drug of choice and I would equate me asking for Mickey D's or Burger to an alcoholic taking a trip to the liquor store but he just doesn't get it because he doesnt have that problem. And if your wife truly wants this I wouldn't worry about her being mad. One day she will thank you. :thumbup:

Kudos for telling her no. If she doesn't realize it right this moment she will later realize that you did it because you love her and know what she is going through.
