I am on my 5th day and I have been doing well with my liquid diet, but I gave in the temptation and ate a chicken gyro. Not only do I feel guilty now but also makes me nervous if it will hinder with my procedure. This also made me realize how horrible of relationship I have with food.

My surgery date is on 9/27

well whats done is done

just try not to do it again....i am sure you are fine

remember, just try to follow your doctors orders.

they give us these instructions for a reason.

today is a new day so do your best

Give yourself a break. Get back on the Pre-op diet and look forward not back. If we all could stick to a diet religiously, no one would be banded! Just do your best and be happy! I had a hard time with it too and the surgery went well last week!

Thank you guys for the support. I will have to work extra hard bc I am always around people who are eating good food! This is will be a tough ride but I can make it.

I like what you sad. I think we are put on the diet, aside from shrinking the liver, just to kick start the diet process. I do not think perfection is expected. Do not beat yourself up.

I also think it is harder because of the hunger pangs of a normal sized stomach. I have had a headache for the 3 days I have been on this quest. I pray it is better once my stomach can only hold a small amount.

I was recently banded on sept 14 and I cheated twice on my Pre op. Besides feeling terribly guilty I was worried my liver wouldn't shrink enough. Came through the surgery with no complications. I do regret the slip ups I had but relievedy surgery was fine

Prinxs, it's OK. Forgive yourself you're human. Today is a new day.

Thank you everyone!! 6 days to go!

What's done is done. I would say if one were to "cheat" DON'T EAT CARBS!!!!
