Hello to all of our Lightweights!!!  If you are visiting WELCOME....PLEASE JOIN US and POST!!!!!   Besides my tool,  I count  Posting on the LW board as my #1 reason for being successful on this exciting journey!!!!     

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!   AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!!  THEY ARE ADDICTING!!  THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!!  THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD  CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period!!

Breakfast:    Protein Drink
Lunch:          Bridal Shower at 1:00

I think I found the few extra pounds you lost. It's only like 3 or 4 pounds but enough to make me mad. 

haha!  I had Cheetos at the Wedding Shower I went to yesterday.  A bowl was sitting right in front of me.  I did have some and I can see how they would be addictive.....

I am going to be brave and try to weigh only once a week. Pretty scary.

Spent the day spending my paycheck on clothes and groceries.  was going to buy some shorts but it just felt too cold to try them on.  Did buy new undies and two pairs of shoes though.

I got all of my summer things out because it was in the 80's and 90's but it's dropped back down to the 40's.l....!!  I was used to the lower temps but now I am freezing!

Sounds Yummy!

I'm so excited to find you!  I'm approved for VSG but not sure.  I'm 4'10" and 186.  Diabetic, knee problems, etc, etc.   what procedure did you have, would you do it again?  I read about people gaining It all back and that scares me.  I want to be sure I'm making the right choice.

Congrats for posting and asking for info that is a major step in the right direction!!!  If you start a new post other's will chime in!

I had the RNY over 6 years ago and I've kept 85 pounds off for over 5 years. I would definitely do it over again because it has changed my life!!!  We have a lot of successful posters on our LW board. 

It is very important to surround yourself with successful people. I know this is time consuming but the #1 thing you have to do  is get a support group and plan on being apart of it FOREVER! I'm sure your Surgeons office either has one or can refer you to one.  This LW board is my only support group and they have helped me every step of the way.

Take time now to ask questions and learn everything you can about your type of surgery.  Knowledge mean Success!
