Hi..

[RColeman]

Hi, everyone. I'm from Alabama. I had the VSG in 2013. I'm joining the group to get support because I've allowed bad habits to come creeping back and in one year I've gained 40 of the those hard lost pounds back. I'm hoping to get encouragement and HELP from those who may have had a similar thing happen to them.

I'll admit that I've stopped exercising as I was, started drinking things with sugar, and stopped focusing on water and protein.

For anyone out there with advice, I need it and will appreciate any help I can get.

I haven't had my bypass yet, but I'm more than willing to give you any support you need. First off, get rid of the sugar. I know. Easier said than done, but you have to.

Great advice Christine!! I too have recently cut down on my sugar intake and I honestly feel better than I ever have!! I'm alert during the day and don't get the afternoon 'slump' like I used to. It can be difficult at first, but once you cut down on the sugar, your body will love you for it!!
