I had my RNY in Dec. 2006. I lost 275 lbs in 20 months and maintained my loss for a number of years. I regained 92 lbs after I lost three members of my family- it was a very dark, sad time for me. After a number of false starts, I was able to get back my healthy lifestyle and I have lost the 92 lb. gain. I have been maintaining for six months. I guess I am a "vet" but honestly I only know what has worked for me; I don't consider myself an expert on WLS do's and don'ts. I do believe I have some experience that others might find helpful and if asked will share.

Im katie. had vsg on march 10th. I am glad to have a place I can find other people who get what I'm going through. 

I'm a month in and 33 lbs down. Still working on eating more than an oz at a time. Much more of a head game than I had expected and I had been reading the boards and preparing for surgery for almost 2 years. 

Glad to have a place to let my hair down :D

 and   to you, good friend. Glad you're doing well, and the experience sure is different than the theory in life, isn't it?

Looking forward to your pics and whatever other additions you care to contribute, because you sure do good ones!

You're right. You really don't know until you're there. Kinda like childbirth/having kids
