Hi everyone! I am going to be 10 weeks out is about 2 days! I'm at a 74 pound loss since the process began. Hurray!

Hey all! Today, I am officially 7 weeks post-op and down another 30 pounds! Hurray! I had a pretty rough recovery (in my opinion). I never had any surgery before and felt like I was in a ton of pain. Around 4 weeks, it finally began to lessen.

Curious on plain greek yogurt intake...how much do you eat? I've been sticking to 2-3.5 oz of food per meal (directions from my plan suggest about 3-4oz of food at 6 week mark). However, I was told by my nutritionist that adding yogurt/cottage cheese,

Hi everyone! I am exactly one week out now and full of questions! I am feeling a lot better, though I am still feeling pain in my main incision (right side). It hurts to cough, sneeze, and laugh. I'm struggling with bending and getting comfortable. I b

Hi everyone! I had my VSG surgery on Monday, so I'm about 5 days out now. In the hospital, I gained 7 pounds from the IVs. As of now, I still haven't really lost anything! I've heard that most people lose the most weight in the first 1-2 weeks, but I'v

Hi everyone! Anyone from Pittsburgh? I hear that many cities have weight loss support groups, but I can't seem to find one in the Pittsburgh, PA area. I'd like nothing more than to find a group of people who are going through the same things I am. I'd
