I started getting information from this site before my surgery and have continued to use it daily since! I decided I should stop trolling and become a member! Thank you to all for sharing your stories and information.

Hello Emiepie,

I was the same way as you. I first heard about this wonderful site from a dietitian when I started my journey of having weight loss surgery and I fell in love with this site. I'm here on this sit just about on a daily basis. I agree with what rocky513 said to you. I use this site for over 4 years now.

By the way, Welcome to ObeistyHelp.
