Hello everyone

Well I didn't know this state by state site was here until another okie told me a couple of days ago.  I was beginning to think i was the only okie who has had wls haha......

Anyway I am glad to be a part of this site now, my story is I had vgs on Oct 7 2008 and as of today I have lost 43 lbs pretty happy with it so far. Havent lost a pd since christmas trying not to get depressed about it, making a few changes in my diet to kickstart weight loss again.

Good Luck to everyone out there!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Welcome to our OK forum!  I see you are from "God's Country"!  Go Pokes!!!  This site has been such an important part of my weight loss journey and I receive so much support from these wonderful people.  Let us know if you have any questions.  Someone has usually been there....done that or will give you a swift kick in the pants when needed. (LOL)  43 pounds is awesome since October 7th!!  Nothing to be depressed about at all.  We're not in a race here thankgoodness.  What procedure did you have?  We've made a place for your on our "looser's bench" and hope to hear more from you!

i had the gastric sleeve done i am extremely happy with it and thank you for welcoming me.and you are right we are not in a race.

Hey gal!  Glad you took my advice and chimed in here.  You are doing great on your weight loss - kicking my can for sure!  Sometimes your body just needs a rest and needs to readjust so hang in there and you will start to lose again.

Much good luck to you!  Keep us posted!

welcome to the okie forum!
Sounds like you are having some stress issues when that happens weight tends to stay on...I would suggest kick up the protein and water intake...
You are doing marvelousss.

Thanks for the welcome I seen where you had a tt in november tell me was it as painful as people say and are you happy you done it

It is as painful as you have been told. I am still suffering from the nerves waking up. I have been asleep and the pain has woke me up.
Would I do it again? LMFAO!! I would do it all again. I have had a total of 9 surgeries including my RNY in one year and I am facing having another hernia repair in June or July with having my legs done....

Hello there! I'm new to the site also. I will have my VGS the first part of Feb. (I hope!).
You are doing just great, try to not think about the Holidays. 2009 is a new start for all of us!
