No, my mind was set to get healthy, and I followed the rules. If you cannot do it before surgery, you will not be able to do it after surgery. You may need to talk to the therapist and make sure you are in it to win it. If you're not all in it may not be the choice for you.

Good morning - I would recommend viewing the daily menu thread on the RNY forum. The daily menu posts are members sharing their experiences, daily struggles and daily routines and menu. People with varied years as post op's and often we see folks who have not yet had surgery. I would not be as successful without this group.

One last point, I was recently reflecting on my weight loss journey. I visited a bariatric center about 5 years prior to my surgery. I was not ready at that point. It took 5 years from that initial visit for me to follow through. I wish I had committed sooner.
