Welcome and introductions
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!
