Hi Tori! I had my surgery a little over a year ago, my move to ATL was in May. I know no one here in the WLS community. CONGRADS on your surgery, how are you feeling? You may PM me if like.

My journey is going well so far, I'm scheduled to have by pass on the 15th so I'm trucking right along in the 2 week pre op liquid diet. How are you doing since moving to Atlanta with your journey.

My keys to success :) - I haven't totally abandoned Protein shakes (I usually drink at least 2 a day to get my Protein in), trying to limit my carbs, and exercise (even if it's a 30 minute walk around the block). My active support systems - message boards (such as this one), a therapist, and I have at least 3 "real life" friends who have also had bariatric surgery. The last one is to NOT GIVE UP...Right now I'm fighting the battle to get below 200 pounds.

I see you're also a little over a year post op. How has your experience been so far?

I do Protein shakes as well, take my vits (received a great lab report yesterday), and drink my Water. I also went from a vegetarian to a vegan. Due to a handicap, I am unable to exercise much but I do what I can. In need of a strong support system which I why I am on this site :-).
