OMG you have lost over 30 lbs and you have not even had the surgery! If you have that great of will power y do u even need the surgery? Will power is what I am lacking. I am scared I wont be able to stick to the program!

My PCP has me on Meridia to help me loose the weight I needed for the surgery. My surgeon's ok with it. Not to mention he put me on a 1500 cal diet the first month and increased it to 2000 the following 5 months. I also TRIED to exercise as much as possible. Trust me it's not will-power as much as hubby-power. My DH is very supportive although I think it's more because of all the money we have invested into this..hehe..

Glad to hear it! Jus because it seems everyone here has this great will power and I have been worried that I chose wrong by doing lapband instead of bypass. Cool that your husband is supportive. Mine thinks support comes in the form of calling me fat etc. Somehow that is supposed to be encouragement. That is ok though because I am doing this for me! Not him! Lol.
