in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone, my name is Stacey. I am 39 and I have been obese all of my life. I have tied many different ways to loss weight and I haven’t found anything that is affective long term. On the 23rd I will be going in for Bariatric surgery. I started my journey in June. I was 269 and I am only 4 foot 11. Yesterday I weighed in at 244. I am excited. I decided to down load this app as a tool to help me. I would love to find the support I am looking for as well as to be supportive to others. God bless

    Welcome to MFP. Remember that surgery is only a tool. You still have to eat healthy, stay under the allotted calories, and keep track. Good luck! You got this!

    Obviously you recognize that more than just surgery is needed hence you downloading the app. Good move and congrats on your success so far🤗

    Welcome to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Best wishes for a positive outcome with your surgery.

    Buy a food scale. Weigh everything you eat and log into the food diary.

    Good luck with your journey!
