So, surgery is set for Tuesday. Getting cold feet...just a little. Not planning on chickening out or anything, but I have to ask this. So I've been on a liquid diet for 10 days or so. Down 16lbs. Hasn't been that difficult. I lost 110lbs. 5 years ago by dieting. (Then I gained back 124lbs.) I KNOW how to lose weight. Unfortunately, I can't keep it off. Gaining it back is far easier. Do I try once more to lose it on my own? I know I can do it. But, how will I keep it off? Probably a dumb question. I'm sure cold feet is common

I struggled with that too. But then I thought while I'm trying to lose the weight again I can get diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. The benefits are pretty immediate. My blood pressure is really good now. I had cold feet but on the day of surgery I was sure it was the choice for me. Only you can make the choice but just think about why you gain weight and why you can't keep it off. Those answers will help you decide whether you should go through with the surgery.
