First of all, good for you for trying to eat well before your get your band. I know alot of people do the whole "last meal" syndrome thing and eat everything in site. I didn't diet before I was banded but I cut out carbonation and things like that, just to be ready.
Maybe your low carb diet is TOO low? They say that when a person craves something it's because the body feels it needs it (probably not true for chocolate, but hey). Maybe you had way too few carbs that day and your body wanted them?
I would suggest keeping some popsicles in the freezer. I keep the sugar free kind in mine, but even the sugar ones are only like 80 calories, or 15 if you get the otter pops. They are great for sweet cravings, and if you get the individually wrapped ones (not the 2 together) it's easy to have some portion control. I eat SF fudgesicles for chocolate cravings. I also have SF popsicles and SF creamsicles, so I have some variety, but they are 'safe'. I think I would say to you that you need to give yourself something, maybe not daily, but probably weekly, as a treat or you are going to feel deprived, and deprivation is a dangerous thing. If you think you can, maybe get some of those 100calorie packs that are out. They have oreo crisps and mini chips ahoy cookies. Do you think you could keep those in the house and eat one pack when a craving hit? Then you'd have some real sugar, but it's a relatively safe snack because it's packaged in a serving (as apposed to a big bag of cookies, or 2 poptarts together when they could just do 1).
Anyhow, I probably got my point across. You are doing great! Wednesday was Wednesday, and that Wednesday can never come back, so you just gotta move forward, right?
