I am 66 years old and have been slightly overweight since I was 13 yrs.old. I weighed about 15 lbs over what I should have weighed. I now am 140 lbs overweight after dieting since I was 13 yrs. old. I am going to have lap band Nov. 30, 2010 and am excited, but apprehensive because I have failed so many times, know I am addicted to food. I am getting cold feet as I am afraid it will be anothe failure. I realize emotional addiction to food is a problem for me and I need support and prayers or the lap band will be just another diet that failed. Several family members and friends don't agree with my decision for surgery, but I feel it is my last hope. I was told I should eat 6oz. of food with only three meals a day. I measured my food I ate last night which was healthy homemade stew, coleslaw, and a piece of brief and a diet ice tea drink. This ended up being 16oz. when I measure it This is when I think I am dieting. I don't know if I can manage with this amount of food without getting light-headed,etc. Tell me it works please.
