Random question - do any of you have an irrational fear of "What if the Gastric Sleeve doesn't work on me like everyone else?" I am 1 week post-op (woot-woot) and can't shake the feeling! I haven't weighed myself but can already see in my face that I have lost some weight yet I still have this voice in my head asking "what if I only lose 30lbs and it stops..." This is crazy right?

That's my biggest fear. ????

That's my biggest fear.

Thanks @SassyLittleRedhead. Nice to know it isn't just me!

Capi, I posted earlier that I went for my one week post-op and I did not lose a pound... NOT POUND after being on a liquid diet of 150-250 calories a day. I know used to eat that many calories in a bite! So, yeah, I've had that fear and it was almost like it came true this first week! But I have lost since then.

I think, instead of talking & planning about making a chance to my life, I REALLY made a change and I have the scars to prove it, so if this doesn't work, what now?

I think that's pretty normal, after all we've all done other things that have worked for our friends or friends of friends.

Hang in there!

Alright - I "may" have chewed and then spit out a spoonful of veggies and rice from the tortilla Soup broth I "ate" tonight.....

I did the same with a piece of yummy crisp Italian bread that came with my boring broth last night. Gotta do what ya gotta do. 2 more days with Clear Liquids.
