So this weekend, hubby and I decided we would do our date night like we have done every single month. However, I completely forgot that I should have done it before the PreOp Diet. But went to see Hunger Games which was an awesome movie and I had nachos and cheese...OMG! It was so good but half way through the taste of the salt made me stop. At first I felt really bad but my husband was very proud of me because he stated he noticed my reaction to the food and he knew I wasn't going to finish it all. In the end, I didn't feel bad because I had one slip but it was the thought that I might have messed up the previous 6 days preparing for the surgery over some nachos and cheese. In the end, I got on the scale this morning and I am down about 2 pounds since Friday. Therefore since I started the PreOp Diet last Monday, I have dropped 8 pounds.

Did anyone else cheat over the weekend?

saw hunger games too and had a small popcorn with layered butter and a box of milk duds - felt terrible (Physically not mentally) - i always cheat when i go to the movies it hasn't hurt my weight loss since its so infrequent!

I forgot about the pre-op when my aunt brought in little ceasars. I was on my second slice when I remembered. However, the doc said my liver looked good so it had no ill effect on me.

Ready2Bfit..you bet I have cheated on weekends (and special ocassions too). That is why we have the band...even when you cheat is can't be a really bad cheat because the band won't let you that "tool" reminds you. You have horrible pains and then PB...you stop eating junk then (sometimes good stuff too - but that is another whole story). Don't beat yourself up. You are doing great. The pre-op faze is difficult..having the band is actually easier. This pre-op thing will be over soon and you can then start your new and exciting journey. hang in there..you will get through this...we've all been there and understand. Good Luck...
