Hello!!
I just joined this forum after reading it as a guest for awhile. I will be having my vsg surgery in a little under a month! I am super excited and cant wait to start this new journey.
Welcome Elizabeth!
I lurked for a while before I joined the forum, too ;-)
This is the best site for information, encouragement and support. We have a lot of fun, too.
Congrats on your decision to a healthier lifestyle. This is one of the best decisions I ever made for myself. My only regret is that I waited.
Best of luck as you embark on this amazing journey ;-)
Welcome Elizabeth. Such an exciting time. My best advice is to take a good before picture (no matter how much you hate it) in as little as possible so a swimsuit or bra & panties. Also take measurements of everything (neck, biceps, chest, waist, thighs, calves, hips etc) and starting weight. Document it in a little notebook or a note on your phone. During the journey you will have times where you feel like you are not losing fast enough or you will stall. Seeing how far you have come in pictures is a good reminder and when the scale is not moving your body is still losing inches. Congrats on your upcoming surgery.
