Hi! I joined this site and fitbit because a friend recommended it. I had VSG and was nervous about joining a diet website because of the negativity associated with wls. I'm excited to find so many others here supporting each other. Since surgery I have lost 93 pounds. My long term goal is 250 pounds. Please feel free to add me as a friend. On the fitbit website my username is VSGJill1481 if you'd like to be friends there as well.

    Welcome! Don't let the negativity and judgement bring you down. You did the right thing for yourself, WLS is NOT the easy way out.

    This is definitely a judgement free zone! I have almost the same amount of weight to lose as you do - you are doing awesome! My only suggestion is to keep away from the main message boards here on MFP - a lot of the people there are very judgmental and opinionated about WLS, not to mention uninformed. Stick with the groups and the people in them and you will definitely have the positivity you deserve!
