I think it's pretty normal to feel that way cause u will never be able to eat that way again! My hubby ate a lot before hand but me not so much. It's much easier that way cause your stomach start to take in less before surgery so you're not as hungry afterwards I think!

I did not lose much compared to others, since I half-assed it. I think I lost about five pounds in the three week period.

Certainly you have a choice.... and thankfully its all yours to make. There are several people on this site with lower BMI when they started...they seem to be very happy about their results. Go with your gut. Just be sure to fully understand what the life of a banded person entails... you will never be able to eat as you do now again.

I'm scheduled for surgery on 12/31 and failing has been one of my biggest fears. However, you're never a failure until you quit trying. I've already failed myself once by gaining back almost all of the 165 lbs I lost. This time I'm trying to lose weight safely and in a healthy manner and hopefully for good. I'm trying to stay focused and motivated.

Thank you so much ajtexas. I used to work out but may need surgery on my knee. Thanks for the help. Jen

I look at this as a tool. I'm gluten intolerant so when I find something to actually eat I eat a lot of it. I'm hoping I won't have that wish to eat very much food. It is so much money. That is another reason I don't want to fail and worry about it. I can't work out. I may need knee surgery so that is a concern.
