Hey all,
I just joined this forum because it looks like a fun way to communicate with fellow sleevers. I have my surgery my next week. I am so excited, nervous, anxious, and just well confused. I have read up from many different members about their success stories, but I keep thinking to myself oh wow that person lost 50 lbs in 3 months or 100 lbs in 4 months, but I keep thinking there is no way that will happen for me. I have had a lifetime of failure with dieting and just am amazed that this could really happen. My doctor said that I should lose at least 160 lbs to be at normal weight. What is "normal" anyway?? I am so excited, but I feel like my pre-op diet isn't going so well. I keep trying to make it go better and doing better, but I just keep thinking that I can still eat right now. I am going on a cruise in September and have set my goal to lose 100 lbs in six months. Do you guys think that I really lose the weight in the period of time or not??
