Hello All,

This is my first time posting in this forum. I have been on the VSG forum for a little over a month but I guess since I started this journey just below 200 pounds, I can be considered a lightweight...........only on this site.  I don't even feel right saying it myself I'm 27 yrs old. Live in Miami. Married , no children. 5ft tall. Starting weight 190 (probably 195 as I didn't have a pre op diet and ate EVERYTHING i wanted before the surgery) .  Lost 18.6 ounds so far yey!!!!!

Anyway, yesterday I  posted my 16 day update on my profile, I'm waiting until I complete my first month to upload a post op picture.  I know first hand how helpful everyones profiles and pictures were for me when I was considering this surgery and quietly browsed through this site for months. 

I am super excited to be on the loosers bench and being a part of this community.

Welcome! Glad you found us. We have very similar stats. I started at 214, day of surgery 186. I also started at 4'11", but grew an inch as I lost weight, so now I'm 5'0" too. I love the lightweights, pretty much the only place I post. We are all here for you!

Welcome!  

You are off to a great start - almost 19 pounds down!  Doesn't that feel great?  I know that all of the information, sharing and support from the LW board have helped me tremendously.  I have learned so much from everyone here and I visit every day - multiple times!  I may not always post here, but I am always reading, trying to learn more and keep this tool working for me.  I look forward to hearing more from you!

Yep, lots of short people on here.  I am 5'0" and down 38 lbs since starting my pre op diet two weeks before my Oct. 4th surgery.  There is so much information on this site and everyone is so very helpful and encouraging!  Welcome!
