  • What are your fears? Fear of surgery? Fear of complications? Fear of failure? Fear of changing your relationship with food? Fear of success (very real, btw)?

  • Do not fear it will pass. The first few months are the worst. I will be 2 yrs Aug 11 and I can eat everything so make sure u keep it up mentally as this is just a tool.

What are your fears?

Fear of surgery? Fear of complications? Fear of failure? Fear of changing your relationship with food? Fear of success (very real, btw)?

I don't know what Chub Rub is but I bet you're still tired of it and this is the best way to take care of it.

I was too. But i am glad i had my surgery on 6/18/12. I am still having issues with what i can eat, and problems keeping my protein up, my energy level is still low, but i am 60 and i am losing 2 lbs a week. I have lost 28 lbs, i still think i feel better now, even with the issues i still have. Good luck with your surgery.

Think of the reasons you need to have the surgery: health, a longer life, better quality of life. I did that and realized I had no options.

Fear of changing my relationship with food. I am craving all of the subs and burgers I won't be having for so long and I am worried I am going be depressed because I cannot have it.

Do not fear it will pass. The first few months are the worst. I will be 2 yrs Aug 11 and I can eat everything so make sure u keep it up mentally as this is just a tool.
