Hi ya'll!!!!!

Well, I have been reading these posts for almost 3 months and didn't know there was a board for the VGB people! duh! haha Anyhow, hello to all, and so glad to run across those that have had the same surgery that I have had. Had my sugery April 4th this year, and have lost 57lbs as of last Thursday. Am trying to weigh only once a week, but I love those scales! I am really trying to stick close to the eating plan, and when I venture away just a little, or eat too quickly, or don't chew good enough, then up it all comes. My own fault, of course, and am still learning every day. I have heard some really negative things about how alot of people gain back the weight they have lost before getting to goal. I sometimes have to ignore the negative, but it is good to hear it sometimes just to remind myself how important it is to follow the program. My husband asks me if I am sorry that I did this, and I tell him NO WAY! I have had a really easy time with this, but boy is it ever alot of work! Hope you are all having a great weekend, and best wishes to you all! Carol

Hey Carol, Welcome to the VBG board!!! Congrats on your weightloss so far You are really doing well. I love how you have a very positive attitude and view this as a learning process. That is so right on! In the beginning I was like you...all about trial and error and now at more than 9 months out things are alot easier because I have found my routine. If you ever have any questions for me or if you need support or just want to chat please feel free to email me any time. Big hugs, Sara 356/244/175
