Thank you, Corrina -  I see you had your surgery on my birthday!  I am so thankful for WLS - it has truly made such a huge difference in my life - not just my weight, but so many other aspects.  It's like a switch was flicked and now I am fully engaged in life.... and life is good!

I know what you mean -  before  my surgery, I LOVED seeing pre/post pictures of those who had reached their goal.  They are so inspiring - gives you hope that one day, you will be posting your own "after" picture.  I look forward to seeing yours!

Thank you!

The best advice I can offer would be to use your tool - it is exactly that.  It won't do the work for you, but it will work with you to achieve your goal.  You have to do your part by eating healthy, concentrating on protein, getting your exercise, monitoring your vitamin/mineral levels, keeping up on your fluids.

I know we all worked hard before our WLS surgery to lose weight.  The difference now is that your efforts will yield lasting results, so it is very very rewarding to put in the work and see the weight come off.  It is even better to kiss that weight goodbye FOREVER. 

Good luck on your journey!  Remember to reach out for support, advice and encouragement here on the LW board - we have an awesome group of people here.
