It's amazing how confident about surgery I can be one day and then how much I can question it the next. My doctor likes his patients to lose 10% of their total body weight before VSG surgery. To help me with this, I've joined Weight Watchers. Ironically, when diets NEVER worked for me before, WW is suddenly working well. I've been losing about 2.5 pounds a week following the plan. Now I'm starting to question whether I do the surgery or not - which is VERY frustrating. Has anyone had this happen to them? My ego has sabotaged me before - I get cocky and then I think I can eat anything. At the same, my BMI is right on the border. I'm approved by insurance and my surgery date is in less than 2 weeks. Is this logical, or am I just trying to sabotage myself again?

You can reduce by exercising and proper diet, don't be tensed just eat with concentrating on the food you eat do not concentrate on T.V or anything like that. Exercise twice a day properly. It will help you.

"if", "just"--this is the kind of guilt trip laid on people with eating problems. if it were that easy and straightforward and successful I would have skipped the surgery. Got the staples out yesterday and am now 10 days out and feel amazing! This has changed my life and i can't wait to experience what is ahead! I do include exercise and concentrating on food choices. This just gives my willpower a little assist.
