Does anyone else feel like they aren't going to get to their ideal weight once surgery is over and done with? I guess I am so used to failed diets and I just want this to work. I want this more than anything, but it's hard to put it all together.

I can totally understand how you feel. I too have been on so many failed diets that it's always in the back of my mind that this might not work. I actually expressed my concern to my doctor who told me I would pretty much be the first person ever it didn't work for! Just keep the faith and keep your eye on your goal. Positive thinking and good eating choices is the way to go.

I really appreciate that advice. Thank you for your kind words!

Omg this! I am so sure it won't work for me! I asked my surgeon too and got a similar response...but it feels so impossible

I think this is a worry everybody has. They may not express it but it is always in the back of their mind. It is a normal response since everything else has failed. Have faith in yourself that this time it will work.

As long as you follow the plan, it will work. We all just have to make sure we don't fall into the same pattern we were in before. The only advice that has echoed in my head is: Remember, you didn't gain it all super fast, don't expect to lose it super fast. There's gonna be stalls. There's going to be moments when you ask yourself if you're doing it right. Just keep going. You guys will all be fine. 55 pounds off in 2 months. And that's with a 3 week stall. Good luck.
