I've used my Wii a few times now, and my favorite is the skiing game! Although to burn more calories I try and do the advance step. I still working on getting into a workout routine. I use the elliptical at my house sometimes but the Wii is a lot more fun!

I am a horrible liar, so I plan on telling the truth. My biggest fear is that I will be one of those "who gains it back" but I am hoping to use that fear to keep me on track with eating choices and working out At first I was only going to tell family and friends (even my gorgeous skinny-minny ones!). Since then I have decided realistically if I do lose weight that fast and take 2 weeks off, won't it be pretty obvious what I have had done? Better to be upfront about it, if someone has something they disagree with me about then that's their opinion. I'd rather be able to face them and their opinion than have it said behind my back. My surgery won't be scheduled until March, but everyone I have told about it has been positive and just wants the best for me

Congrats on the date Abby!!! We may be sleeve sister, I am scheduled for surgery anytime between March and June

Congrats Melli, that's awesome

PinkBabe, congrats on your surgery date!!! I wish mine were that close, I am tentatively scheduled for June...so far away, but I'm using the time to work on my eating habits I am 24 so not a teen, but maybe a bit closer in age I'm with you on the eating meals with people will be one of the hardest things about vsg, but it's not like you can't eat, you just have to chose healthier choices and eat slower.

Irene I am definitely a boob girl too!!! Only drawback I really see to VSG:( lol, I already have looked into surgery and starting a savings for 2 new lovely ladies:) I know someone mentioned scarring... many of the places I looked at insert the implant through the belly button and inflate it once it is in place which eliminates scarring.

Julie, they size you for free there if you are iffy on your size. But personally I absolutely love their Incredible bras, they are pretty much all I wear. Plus the bands are wide, helping with back flab:) I also like the Biofit a lot too

I think I finally figured out my ticker, now to make it start moving

Eloray, thanks for the tips! I am posting now to see if I got it right

Congrats!!! You will have to let us know when you find out if it is a boy or a girl

Glad you made the decision! I too have just recently joined and have felt the support way beyond what I was expecting I also have tried WW in the past and it worked for awhile, the idea on a whole is great, just didn't quite meet my needs. I am glad to hear that you have done your research and have chosen VSG, pretty much any question you have about VSG can be answered on this site

Glad to hear people like their Wii's I just got one have yet to use to...I think being weighed everything is a bit intimidating, but probably something that will help with accountability!

Good luck on your surgery Look forward to hearing from you soon!!

I am doing my surgery through Team Bariatrics through Goshen Hospital...it is an awesome place. It is a separate building site setup just for weight loss related issues. They have a gym, nutritionalist, and a whole team of doctors to chose from and help you out ps that is in Goshen, Indiana...it is pretty north about 30 minutes from Notre Dame University or the border of MI.

This is great guys! Thanks, I am still about 6 months out but this was definitely things I was thinking about!!! Quick question, do you guys use the protein shakes as meals even after you are on solids, and way post op? I know I use drinks called Isopures for lunch sometimes if I am busy, they aren't hoooorrible, just not great
