Had a minor cheat last night. Hubby n kids had cupcakes for his bday. No I didn't eat the whole thing. Just a 1/4 of one.... So I didn't eat my starch for supper.

Today is a new day. Start over fresh.

Don't worry, just get back on track. Im on day 13 of my 14 day and I had mozzarella stix last nite. It was my last hurrah, until my sister (who already has lapband) told me she can still eat them. Oops. Protein shakes alllll day!!

Unless you're on a pre op diet before surgery or healing on the post op diet after surgery, you didn't do anything "wrong".

The Lap Band isn't about never having favorite foods again. It's about moderation not deprivation. There is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying a treat once awhile.

Ya, I'm on day 5 of a 2 week pre op. could have been worse though. Before I would have ate 2 or 3.... Not 1/4 of one.

The pre and post op diets were hardest for me too. But they are extremely important. The pre-op diet gets your liver under control and to shrink back down to a normal size. If it's too enlarged, they can't get the band in properly. Not trying to scare you. Just want to make sure you know how very important pre/post op diets are.

That being said, try not to stress over your 1/4 cupcake too much. In the 10+ years my surgeon has been doing this, he only had 1 he couldn't complete.

Take care!

In that case, cheating isn't good. Stick to your post op diet because cheating on it could result in serious complications- like a band slip or ripping the sutures in your stomach. Definitely nothing you want to deal with.
