zsnaani 29 Posted August 7, 2016 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?

zsnaani 29 Posted August 7, 2016 CONGRADS, wow you are almost at goal! What are the keys to your success? Do you have an active support system? Hello! I'm in Dunwoody. Had VSG in May 2015.Sent from my LG-D850 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lexiemustang 268 Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) 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?

zsnaani 29 Posted August 11, 2016 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 :-).
