SO i know i havent been banded yet...Ive been sick with a Viral Illness called BPV..which sucks and its getting to the point that ive lost my appetite and when i do eat i feel quilty and then my stomach doesnt agree with it. I dont know if im feeling this way cause im scared what the suergon will think or me gaining more weight...its soo irritating...what do u guys think should i feel this way another part of me says eat what i can know cause i wont be able to when i am banded! :/

Everyone goes through this ! Be nice to yourself you arent supposed to be perfect! Everybody had several last suppers before surgery to say goodbye to certain foods and then most of us found out we never had to because we can still eat small amounts of anything!

There are two kinds of people here...those that cheated and those that havent admitted they cheated! Good luck!

_{Certainly don't worry about what the surgeon will think. The chances of you doing something he/she hasn't seen before are very remote! Leading up to my surgery, I ate like is was my last meal for 3 months. I managed to gain 18 pounds in that time, and frankly I enjoyed the hell out of it. In the end, all the weight gain pre-surgery means is a few more weeks until I eventually hit my goal. I figured I spent 40 years getting to where I was, so what's an extra few weeks.}

I just went through a repair to my pacemaker and had to stop exercising for a month. I sat a lot and I am not a sitter, but I couldn't risk dislodging the lead and believe me I didn't want to do that again! So I did what I was told, but I put some of the weight back on because of it. I am hoping my surgeon doesn't cancel the surgery now. I have lost 15 pounds and gained 5 back. Struggling to get it back off pre op appointment is next Thursday. Any input?

I don't think your surgeon will cancel your surgery because of this as long as you explain that you had to have pacemaker repair. After all, losing weight is the ultimate goal of gastric surgery.
