New to this and scared

[Newemme 1]

I am just beginning this weight loss journey. What I've done so far, completed the initial consult with my surgeon, started the second month with my nutritionist and pre-op diet (7 pound loss the first at weigh in), and completed psych evaluation. Not sure why but I'm feeling scared, discouraged and ambivalent about all that is happening. Wondering if I'm the only one that has/had these feelings

I was feeling the same way even up to the day before surgery. This support group has helped me overcome being scared.
I am 4 days post op and very glad I went thru with everything.
It is a change but a good change.
You will be fine. When it comes to having better health ; it is worth it.
Keep going and don't give up! [emoji23]

Being scared is normal, but remember, how you let it effect you is all up to you.

We'll all be here with you though, at least in spirit.

Be careful not to loose too much if it looks like you can do it on your own insurance may not cover. I was told by my Dr not to let my BMI get too low
