first post

May 16, 2010

I am posting for the first time on any site about my thoughts on weight loss issues. I am anxious about my Vertical Gastric Sleeve scheduled in 8 more days. I have quit smoking about 4 days ago to be sure my lungs have two weeks to breathe the best I can before the surgery. I have had the past two months to concentrate on my eating habits and I have been substituting whey protein powder drinks for mid day meals and have adopted the Adkins diet as well, I have dropped 35 lbs and feel a lot better already. I did ask on a form yesterday about other men having the VGS who post here trying to link to a group of support and sharing. I was happy to get a half dozen responses and some have accepted the friend request.
