I've always been an average eater/ slow loser. Will I still lose fairly quickly. .

with the help of the surgery? I'm not a big eater. I eat very much like an average person. I eat junk, of course. But so does the average person. I don't eat a whole bag of this, or a whole box of that. If I eat for example OREOS, I eat 2 or 3 and that's it. I very rarely finish a meal at any restaraunt. Not even a meal at a fast food place. When I've done Weight Watchers, it took me 5 months to lose 17 lbs. I was walking for exercise, and doing the program like I was suppose to. Does this mean that I won't lose very well with the open RNY? I did Optifast and followed the plan perfectly. I lost 45 lbs. I weighed 227 then. I went down to 175. (I lost 7 more lbs. once we started eating again. It was a six month program. Three month fast and 3 month eating plan. Everyone else lost 70-90 lbs. I'm having surgery May 23. (open RNY) I just am so afraid of failure. I'm afraid of losing slowly and getting depressed and discouraged, just like I always have. Just wondered if there is anyone else out there like me and had great success. I have alot of motivation. I WILL do what I'm told by my doctor. I'm not afraid of MY actions, just of what my body will do with my efforts. Please HELP! ! !
