Hello from North Dakota! I am 2 weeks post op and feeling great. I didnt know what to expect as i kind of kept it a secret that I was doing it except with my family and close friends. I deal with Fibromyagia and have tried so many diets that have just failed so it was nice to see in the 2 weeks that I am down 14lbs already. Im excited to talk to others and reading forums in here have helped me already. Like learning about the gas pains after and yes Gas X is a life saver!!! I look forward to talking to others in the journey and couraging those that need it... Have a wonderful and blessed day!

WELCOME

happy to have you join the group. I have learned so much by reading posts from this forum. I try to stay away from the negative nelly's. I listen to my doc and nutrition experts. I don't do "it" perfectly everyday but, the changes have been so phenomenal, I feel different, I look different. I think for the 1st time I will make it this time.

I have worked really hard on some demons that always pulled me back into the world of hatred - self hatred. I am worth all this work, I am worthwhile. I have things to contribute to the world. Believe it yourself, you will have success too!

Ask lots of questions, it will make such a difference!

Thanks everyone for the posts! N I have no clue but fatnfluffy popped in my head... Gabriel Inglasis(spelled wrong lol) is one of my fav comedians and his famous saying is Im not fat im fluffy. I have always had a positve attitude of my weight. But when my fibro got bad i knew it was time to change. My dr said that those who join these groups and go back for routine checks are the ones that succeed the most and i have learned lots by reading and then just finally joined so i look forward to chatting and reading and learning lots!
