  • Hi There! I had gastric bypass on 4/6/12 and would love to have more MFP friends who had WLS. I've been tracking everything I eat to try to establish good habits as early as possible.

    I had WLS (gastric bypass) on 5/14 - I'd love to help support you! I know that some feel that WLS is this big no-no and the easy way out - but you and I both know there is nothing easy about what we've done. I'm lucky in that my mother had the surgery 4 years ago and I have friends and family that have also had the surgery - so there is nothing taboo about it here, but to be honest, I'm not the type to keep my struggles inside...I try not to care what others think. easy to say I know! :) feel free to add me, I'd love to support you and celebrate your achievements, because I KNOW you will have a ton!
