Self doubt

[Bethany Copley 35]

I am genuinely worried that I won't lose weight. Thats kind of insane. But nothing else has worked, or at least for long, so I think my jerkbrain is making me doubt myself.

Ive just started my prerequirements. I could have surgery anywhere between 2 to 7 months from now, if I understand them correctly, depending on how quickly I get my visits done, and how my progress is.

Im worried that the 15 pounds (5%) that I am supposed to lose in that time frame will be the same 15 Ive lost and gained for the last two years, and disqualify me, because I gain weight by thinking about food lol

This all comes down to you. If you truly desire to succeed at weight loss surgery....you will. Additionally, this forum will help guide you every step of the way.

Keep in touch with your weight loss team. Make sure you have an open line of communication with your nutritionist, surgeon and/or their NP/PA. The biggest thing about this: you're not alone in this.

I was convinced I was the one person this wouldn't work for. I think we all have that fear.

I was wrong.
