Im getting cold feet

[christy38 17]

Cleared by cardio all I have left is pulmonary next week. I'm having cold feet! Everyone including doctors are looking at me like you can do this on your own.. You don't need surgery!!! Ugh I'm so confused!

Only you know if that's really true or not. I had similar feelings pre-op, as I'm sure many do. However, deep down I knew that I could not stick to a diet on a permanent basis or I already would have lost the weight and kept it off. I am 9 days post-op and I'm so glad that I did this. It has been no picnic, but it's not the worst thing I've gone through, by any stretch. AND, I've lost 21 pounds in 3 weeks (that includes pre-op diet). I feel thinner and for the first time in my life, as I say goodbye to those pounds, I know they are gone for good. Do some soul searching. Your right answer is in there:) Good luck.

How many times have you tried this before and lost/maintained that loss? Can you do it yourself?
