So tonight while fixing my 5 and 3 year olds plate, without even thinking I reached down and ate a potato wedge!!! I'm on day 7 of my pre op diet and having surgery on Friday!! Anyone know how this will affect me? :'(

Shhhhh you'll be fine. One potato wedge shouldn't be a problem.

It's just frustrating. I've come this far with no problems had people eat my favorite food right in front of me and then boom!

During my prepp diet I cheated once and ate three cookie then I cheated again and ate a bite of my daughters KFC chicken!! Trust no one is perfect I still lost 17 pounds. Now be sure to NOT cheat getting closer to the day of because certain foods swell ur stomach and if ur doc is anything like mine he won't do the surgery if ur stomach is enlarged, and from what I've heard they CAN tell!

Oh!!! We all have little BAMS! I am getting banded on Thursday! I know yours is on Friday...but just know I will be keeping you in my prayers...BUT~~~you gotta pray for me too! I am nervous!!!! Excited...but nervous! Keep us posted!

I will definitely keep you posted!! And I'll be praying for you as we'll. thank you!! I'm already nervous/excited too. I know it's the right choice but I always have the what ifs in my head about that small percent of people who aren't lucky :/

Don't beat yourself up, nobody is perfect. You made a mistake, its over so keep going on your pre op diet. You will be fine as long as you stick to the diet from now on. You can do this! Good luck on your surgery and a speedy recovery. Keep us posted.
