5 days left! Doubts set in
First, the good news - I'm down 4 lbs since yesterday! So strange.
Before pre-op diet, I was 274 lbs on my home scale.
Pre-op diet:
Day 1 - Day 2: UP 1 lb.???? (275 lbs.)
Day 2 - Day 3: Down 1 lb. to original starting weight (274 lbs.)
Day 3-Day 4: Down 4 lbs. (270 lbs.)
OK, now the not so good news. I'm having doubts about this whole thing. Doubting myself, thinking "why can't I just do this myself?" It's just that it's all seeming like a huge diet - high-protein, low-carbs, measuring and weighing food. I've had some good success with low-carb diets in the past, only to gain it all back (plus more) when I went off them. Could I lose all this weight on my own if I was strict with my intake, and avoid such a drastic measure? Maybe. But I hope that this will be a tool to help me maintain the weight loss once I get to where I want to be. I know it will be a lot of work, and I'm ok with that. I just hope that it will eventually become second nature, and not always constantly measuring and weighing my food.
But then I see all the success stories here, and read about people who had the exact same doubts I am having. I've seen very few people say they regretted having this surgery. Even the ones who had complications are saying they would do it all over again. That is very reassuring, to know that I'm not all alone.
