July 18th surgery!

I have my date and so excited and scared! My biggest fear is that I will fail!! I know that seems so silly, but when you have tried everything...you start to doubt that you really can be healthier and thinner! I am committed to following dr.s orders per and post op, but again just so scared of failing? Is anyone else sruggling with this?

I am 5'2" and currently weigh 264 (BMi 48). I look forward to the day I can post per and post op photos!

    I'm also having surgery on July 18. I'm nervous, scared and excited all at the same time.

  • I am the day before u and I have the same doubts. Scared that when I wake up from surgery I will think " what the hell did I just do to myself". But than I think thousands of people in our same shoes

    It's very normal, even for those of us who aren't getting negative feedback. I'm 2 days away from my surgery and I still have my moments of "do I really want to do this? I'm losing so well on my pre o

So glad to hear from u. I have been worried. I am doing great...struggling a bit with fatigue. Head hunger has subsided for most part and I am losing steadily. Getting Vitamins and Water in, still having hard time meeting my 60 gram of Protein. Only walking at this time..hope to start some strength training soon!

So glad to hear from you!
