I will have lap band surgery the 19th. My biggest fear is exactly what you are saying about the scale not showing you what you feel it should at the point you are now. It is hard not to get anxious about seeing the pounds you have struggled to get off go quickly!! I am also afraid that I won't be able to eat some of the foods I also enjoyed... salads, and a good steak!! Also how to conquer the head hunger!! I wish you all the luck!!
