    Had RNY June 17th, 2010 - Down roughly 125 lbs to date. Having surgery does not make this any easier, all I've realized is it makes me eat less, I still have to watch what foods I put in my mouth, weigh all my food, track all my food, drink lots of water and get my work outs in.

    And also, just wanted to give a good job to those of you who had the courage to start the wls journey and are seeing success. Its a lot of work but worth every bit of it!

    I had VGS 8/7/12. So far so good. Down 30 lbs from surgery weight. Down a total of 61 lbs from my heaviest weight last March.
    I have to admit, this has been a lot harder mentally than I thought it would be. I am very inspired by reading post on here. I won't give up on myself this time. Good luck to everyone!

    I had VSG on March 15.. so I'm 6.5 mo out and 98 lbs down. Yippie! There is also a VSG group on here with different forums. This site is my daily food diary and has really kept me on track. I have no idea how people who have had WLS know where they are regarding food, without using some type of a logging system.

    Good luck! Feel free to friend me if you'd like

    I had Gastric Bypass 05/04/10 and lost a total of 116 taking me to my goal. However within the last year I got too comfortable and ended up gaining 20 lbs back, which is why I'm here to take back control. After a while it can be easy to get comfortable and fall back into old habits if you aren't being mindful of them anymore. I wish everyone good luck! Add me if you like.
