My surgery is scheduled for May 8 and I am really asking myself if I really want to do this. Getting really nervous about having something done that is irreversible. On the one hand I know that being 100 pounds overweight has impacted other health issue (Blood Pressure, Sleep Apnea, Cholestrol, RA) and losing the weight will help. On the other hand, I have gained most of this weight since my thyroid went haywire about 8 years ago...until then I ate like crazy just to not fall below 125 lbs. I was up to 240 but have now dropped down to 224 since starting six month diet and now I'm on the pre surgery fluids. I am just not sure I have the willpower to make these changes. The idea of not having real food for a while is really disturbing. Does this mean no more chocolate, tiramisu, pasta or fresh baked breads forever? I'm really struggling with whether this is right decision for me. Is this normal?
