Si, oui, ja!
Stuggling with it would make you normal! My surgeon, when I complained about it, said that there were two reasons for the weight loss process prior to surgery. One was a compliance issue: he wants to make sure patients are reasonably compliant with his instructions and honest when not compliant. Another was evidence for the insurance company that diets weren't the answer. The third was helping de-fat the liver, something you won't necessarily see the effects of on the scale or in how your pants fit.
Do what you need to do for the process and your health and don't worry about the scale (easier said than done, but important!)
