I too am concerned about the same thing. However, I am going to try it. My surgery is tomorrow and I am excited. I too want to get those bad thoughts out of my mind that I might not lose the weight. It is a challenge and a new way of life. I need to get recipes that are nutritious. Both my husband and I are overweight. However, he can lose the weight easy compared to me. He also has diabetes and we both need to start eating healthy. I think that being concerned is normal for what we are going through. Hearing stories of the people who can't lose the weight. I am going to try and focus on the people who did lose the weight; one of which is a good friend of mine who is losing weight. I am going to pray that I lose the weight. That's all I can do. I am going to pray that I can learn to cook differently as well. That is important. Best wishes to you!

Yess ! Someone does feel the same as me ! I am having surgery in 2 weeks time, and the thought keeps going through my head 'what happens if it doesnt work' etc etc. Hate being negative, have to turn those thoughts around to IT WILL WORK !

Good luck to you both - cant wait to hear how you go :cursing:

Its all those years of negative self talk :cursing:... I am truly excited to get going down this road! Thanks for replying.
