I'm new and nervous!

Hello all! I'm new to the site and had a question. I am approved pre-op, still have to have the esophageal scope my doc requires, then I can shedule the surgery. I'm hopeful the band will help me on my way to weight loss, but nervous at the same time.

My concern stems from this: Im not much of an over-eater now (ie a protien bar for Breakfast, a healthy choice steamer meal and greek yogurt for lunch, and then a normal dinner)... I've got to lose 15 lbs before my surgery and I'm struggling with it.

I just wanted to see if anyone out there had similar eating habits pre-op and had success with weight loss after the band. I just dont want to fail at this too... Any feed back/ suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!

I don't have similar eating habits, was eating way too much!, but the only thing I would suggest is maybe to increase your exercise to burn more calories. Drink lots of Water too. Good luck!
