As I am learning and going through the program and also reading threads people post I am not feeling confident that I will be able to do it...but I want it so bad I am ready..

You can do it, but it won't be easy. Build a big support group. You will need them in the future.

My family and friends do support me but I sooooo need support from someone who has gone through it and this site is my support I guess or maybe I am just feeling needy

What about it do you feel you won't be able to do? The surgery? Following to plan after? I understand about needing someone that has gone thru it, my hubby has been with me every step of the way very supportive but there is so much he doesn't understand (fears, doubts, failure etc) I'm now 10 months out so feel free to ask questions

I agree with the above statements you have this forum to help you we have all been there take one day at a time stay focus you have the support of your family and your friends here everyone here has been wonderful good luck my friend .

I am unsure about being able to eat and sticking to what I am supposed to eat

I think that is a normal fear, fear of the unknown... I guess your new tummy will be the judge of what you can and can not eat, but I will say I don't eat perfect everyday some days more than I should or not what I should... don't know if I'm cursed or lucky but my tiny tummy has no issues for the most part.. everyday I still have to work at it just like before surgery but I have lost 100 lbs and I feel great. Do you have any support groups thru your doctor or in your area? Also

there are support groups on Facebook and using apps like My Fitness Pal with fellow bypass friends before hand will let you see what eating after is like.
