I need opinions here. I am on my 9th day of my preop diet. I have done well except for a binge the evening of day 6. I ate 2 corn dogs. I really want to do well on the preop diet to shrink my liver, etc. Here's the deal. I LOVE CHINESE FOOD!!!! I really want to have one last meal of chinese food. I understand that with my band there is a chance that I will not be able to tolerate rice. How much damage would I do to go eat chinese food tonight?? Will it add taht much fat to my liver, or do I need to just "put on my big girl panties" and follow the diet like I am supposed to. What do yall think???? My band date is October 24 (Wednesday)

How cool is that. Ok, I'm a dork too. LOL How tall are you

I am not trying to say go for it, but if the craving just overcomes you, try just getting egg drop soup. Get the chinese food take out and let your husband order for you so you won't be tempted to get anything heavy. I love chinese too. I have found though after being banded, I do not crave the rice anymore. I used to get shrip fried rice, but I have found that now I order a main dish like Sweet and sour chicken or mongolian beef and just eat the meat, most of the time the rice is left untouched. Some of the things I used to love before banding, don't get me as excited after being banded. I love yeast rolls with sweet honey butter, I could eat like 10, but now I have a bite or two of one and I done with them. Hopefully your food tastes will change and you will not crave the higher calorie items once you are banded. Best of luck.
