Hi Everyone! I'm new here but I'm scheduled for VSG on 10/26. I finished my supervised weight loss but I'm wondering if you have to weigh in at preop appt? I have a special event the night before and was hoping to be able to eat whatever I want for the last time ever ...(not the right mentality... I know!) Let me know your experience! Thanks

I will be weighed on surgery day. Also, I don't know about your preop diet, but many are on liquids only for a few to several days before surgery, to help shrink the liver and for a safer surgery. I definitely wouldn't take a chance. This is a good time for you to prove you can follow the program and do the right thing.

My preop appt is before my 2 week liquid diet starts and I would never cheat on that

Oh (I misunderstood), in that case, I know I've heard of several people doing "food funerals". I think it would be ok to have a final farewell, as long as you don't think it will cause you to fall completely off the wagon. I know with me, sometimes I cheat and then I beat myself up over it so much that I feel like a failure. It's hard for me to get control again. I hope what ever decision you make, you are successful and your surgery goes well. Good luck with everything!

@@lgivaudan I would assume they will weigh you at your pre-op appointment. I would suggest that you work on losing weight until the event and then if you do "indulge" it won't matter if you gain a few lbs (which will just be Water weight the next day). I wouldn't go on a bender - but I don't see anything wrong with enjoying the night.

Thank you guys
