With such a restricted capacity to eat, why wouldn't the majority reach ideal weight?

I realize that some will find that they can tolerate "bad foods" and will perhaps never develope the good eating habits, but is that true of most people My surgeon wants to do a lap proximal rny where I can expect to lose 50-70% of my excess weight. I want to lose all of it - or at least most! I wonder if that many people out there are not following the doctor's orders for diet and exercise so that they don't get to ideal weight. Or, is it that people who have the capacity to become so overweight don't have the capacity to be "normal" - at least not anymore? I would like to think as I go thru this ordeal that I can lose most of this weight if I work at it. I eat ALOT now - and most of it unhealthy - if that is completely turned around and I am eating less than what "normal" people eat, and healthier, and I am exercising - please tell me that I can go beyond that 70%!
