Hi, again!

So, being a control freak, I thought I'd get a jump on things. I've been using the MyFitnessPal app and really watching everything that goes into my mouth. I've lost 20 pounds in 26 days. YAY! But wait!!! Have I now lowered my BMI to a point where the surgery may not be appropriate?? Have I just proven that I can do it without surgery?? Do I continue to process to see if surgery is still for me??

I highly doubt I can keep the weight off without monitoring everything as closely as I am. (If I could, I wouldn't be considering hte sleeve inthe first place.) Plus, I am super tired. I mean, RIDICULOUSLY tired. I'm eating well under the amount of calories I'm allotted--like, under 800 per day, which is what I understand I would only be able to take in after surgery, so maybe just following the 'post-surgery' diet would be enough for me?

Oh, man! I am soooo confused! ANY advise/guidance/suggestions will be most welcome!

Thanks!

Here's my take...what you're doing is not sustainable for the long term. Only you can decide if you can do it without surgery.

Even though I lost a lot of weight prior to surgery and on the 2 week pre-op diet, I knew it wasn't sustainable and if I didn't have the surgery, I would go back to my old ways as I had in the past and gain that weight back.

You;re right, McButterpants! (love that name, by the way!) I don't think this would be sustainable in the long term. I think I am just super-driven at this point,and want to get the weight off while I wait for my surgery date.

Thanks so much for easing my mind!
