A big help for Newbies

I just wanted to share, something that is really great on this forum is the Bites, Vites & Exercites which is posted daily by Major Mom.
Once you start having food, it really does help to monitor to make sure you get your protein and vits in. I cannot stress how important this is. I know you have heard it before from the Dieticians to Surgeons to all the support groups.
With this surgery, we are thrown into an immediate ketosis state. We start losing. In order to keep the traction going, the protein must get in first. Remember, Protein First, Hydrate and a bite of whatever else.
It takes your body awhile to adjust to your new configuration. Learn the term YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary.
There are a lot of people on here who are willing to help out and to help you learn about this WLS you just had done. Remember, no one is perfect - this is a tool for you to use to get to where you want to be.
Take one day at a time! Sip Sip Sip on water...
Good Luck!
