Was anyone scared of the fact that you wouldn't be able to eat the same but at the same time you knew you had to do something and you are committed to this but afraid that you will mess it up I am going to counseling to help me with this big change I'm doing but I just wanted to know if anyone here felt like this and how they delt with it and how they are doing now I am 5ft 3 and I weigh 384lbs

Also I am 25 years old

I hear basically everyone thinks after the surgery "what the hell did I just do" but after the pounds are rolling off and you feel better then u had for years, it was just all worth it. You have to be ready with your mind. The restrictions should be ok to do and not like some people on this site, a few days after the surgery they complain of the pureed food. You will for life time look at food differently. So be ready with every Fiber of your being before you take this step and then it will all be ok. Check out Instagram also, there are a lot of young people who have gone through VLS surgery and done well

You have the surgery......stick with a diet that is easy to stick with.....lose the weight over the course of the first year.....then keep it off for life by eating normal portions of normal food.

It's simple in theory......and thus far I've found it's very simple in practice.

We just have to get out of our own way and it unfolds easily.

Best decision I ever made! I'm 5 months out and have had no complications or regrets and lost 106 pounds. You definitely need to be prepared. The 6 month program I was in before the surgery really helped me understand exactly what I was getting myself into. You'll be fine.
