16 days and counting down fast....

For months and months now I have been excited about the surgery. Now that it is getting closer I am starting to get nervous. Am I doing the right thing? Will I survive? Am I going to blow it? Plain and simple.....I love food. I have been trying to do the tiny bites and eating slower etc but I wind up forgetting and wolf the food down. I have been called a "loser" all my life and it has hurt. Now I want to be called a "loser" and be proud. Please say some prayers that everything goes well and I get some willpower. I know it is just nerves talking. My sister went thru it 3 years ago and is doing and looking great. By the way... what is an angel and how does one get one?

Hi ,I know how you are feeling because my surgery date is June 28 and I am thinking the very same things. There are people that feel this is a easy way out but they have not been on a roller coaster of dieting and regaining most of thier lives. I have also tried to eat with a baby spoon and chewing until there is no more to chew,very hard to do. I also have trouble not drinking anything before during and after meals. I have also bought some sample powder protein and have not tried any of them yet. I will say some prayers for you for your surgery and recovery.
