Hello everybody I new to this forum but wanted to share my story . I started my weight loss journey on October 15 2016 when my surgery was scheduled in Tijuana Mexico. I started a all liquid diet on the 17th of october 2016. On that day I weighed 268 pounds , my Vsg surgery was scheduled for October 27,2016 at 11am. On the day of surgery I weighed in at 258 pounds . The surgery went off with out a hitch. I was released the next day . For the first month I questioned the decision I had made . Nothing can prepare you for the huge life change that's to come. For the first time in my life I have control of my life , my eating and have regained my self confidence that had been gone for so long. I'm almost 10 months out and have hit my ultimate goal of 150 pounds. I'm embarrassed to admit I never exercised during the 10 months , i always struggled to get my protein in and after work , kids and life I was always exhausted and not motivated. Now after 10 months post op I've started to go to the gym. I don't regret my decision and would do it over if given the opportunity. #Mynewlifeisfabulous

That is awesome, congrats on your new life as a much smaller you!!
Well it is never too late to start exercising so good for you on hitting the gym. I have read that losing weight is 80% diet and only 20% exercise so your journey proves that. I do believe it is important for other reasons so I started at 3 weeks post-op.
I hope you will stick around and I look forward your posts.

There are quite a few people I've seen post here they weren't working out too much. There are plenty of ways to get to the finish line, and you picked the route that would get you there.
I stay active, but wouldn't really say that I work out because of how little activity I can tolerate. If I push myself I sometimes get dizzy, or I get extremely hungry later in the day. I'd eventually love to add more activity in, but my #1 priority right now is losing weight. Congratulations on your success!
