I started my pre surgery diet a week ago saturday.... and I was doing awesome. I even lost a few pounds. It all went down hill when my boyfriend and I decided to go to Vegas on a whim to have one last fun weekend before my surgery. I even went shopping for milk and brought my little blender with us. Somehow, I couldn't do it. I ate badly on sunday and a little bit today.... and I feel terrible. I'm supposed to be preparing for surgery and I feel like such a screw up... like I don't deserve the band because I couldn't just fight temptation over the weekend. Am I crazy for feeling this way? Is there hope for me? Or am I being way too hard on myself? I am all set to continue the diet and I am determined to get back on track. I get banded on friday the 20th and I'm so ready.

I just need some advice as to how I should deal with the fact that I cheated. Should I move on and drop it? Or use this as an example of how bad I felt when I cheated... so that down the road I'll remember it and want to stay on track?

I'm lost.

I was banded yesterday and luckily I was ok. I confessed to my surgeon what happened. He said I was ok. I did lose 8 pounds. I understand needing to lose fat around the liver. In my case I don't think he was super worried about that. Nevertheless I got back on the diet and did great the rest of the time. Thanks for all your opinions

NO ! Not at all... Just don't make the foolish mistake again, and stick to what your Surgeon say's.

I am so relieved to hear you were ok and all went well. I am in the same boat as you, being banded mon morning. I was great for the first pre op week, lost like 10 lbs and then I started to cheat here and there.. long story short I am back to abt a 6 lb total loss.. my bmi is also low 40's do you think I will have lost enough weight?? I'm getting super nervous!!
