Hi everyone! If you haven't had WLS, please no judgements. But if you had Weight Loss Surgery and would like to keep each other accountable, please add me. I been looking for friends that had WLS, we can keep each other accountable and coach each other on each other's goals. I'm looking for some motivation because lately, I just feel like im stuck.

    Hi there! I am currently preparing for VSG and doing the required 3 months of supervised diet and exercise. I anticipate having surgery in the fall. We just bought a treadmill for at home and I'm also doing some strength training at a gym on a 60 day Fit Rx membership through our local health system.

    Nice! Congratulations on making this huge step in your life! :) If you need any encouragement at all, im your gal! I am on like phase 4 to phase 5 of the program which is in the middle of between soft foods and transitioning to solid foods. Before surgery, I had to lose 70lbs so I lost 70lbs in 4 months to get VSG! I was at 470, my biggest and now im at 355lbs :) I had surgery about seven weeks ago.

    Hi! I am having VSG surgery in less than a week - June 29th! I'm excited, nervous, all of it. Currently on the liquid pre-op diet. How are you feeling after your surgery?

    I had RNY 14 years ago. I'm not sure about VSG, but RNY still is working for me all these years (and one extra kid) later. I still have to watch my food and take my time and chew thoroughly or I regret it. I don't always track my food, but from time to time I do as a reminder/reset. Zero regrets.
