One week post-op & amazed!

Shout it, girl!!!! I'm going for gold!

I knew you would be awesome! You have waited a long time for this and all your posts were so positive and forward looking. I am so happy for you! Keep it up and keep looking ahead of the curve!!!

Thanks, Julia. It's been a ride and I'm ready to pedal my way to the finish.

YES!!! I am so happy that you posted this!! I do not have a surgery date (or even approval for the surgery yet, but all my work is done) and I have been on these boards lurking (used to post on lapband and then just lurked in other boards) for almost 6 years now and starting to be active on this VSG board in the last few months. I am very familiar with the lifestyle post surgery and have seen failure around me. I feel this has made me even more determined to succeed after surgery! I am so tired of being where I am and having my son 17 months ago is what really has pushed me to change. I went to the gym and did 3 times a week Zumba workouts, dieting, walking daily, swimming and nothing has made me lose this weight in the last year. He quit breastfeeding at 13.5 months and I went to my first visit to the Dr shortly after that. I then slacked a couple months, but now am more determined than ever to get this surgery done! I completed all my requirements in 3 weeks and have already started to eat how I will need to eat after surgery. My hard part is the drinking with meals, but I am working on it. I cannot wait to succeed and show everyone I can do this and I will do this and then you can eat your words about me failing!!! I am so happy you posted this, I had tears in my eyes reading it!
