Introduction

Hello everyone!

My name is Veronica and I am getting VSG sometime in the future. I am really happy I found this forum because it is helping me get motivated. You see, all I have to do is lose 5 pounds so I can go to the next step of setting my surgery appointment. The problem is that I have not been able to lose it because I do not follow a diet. In fact, I have not made any significant changes. It is my belief that I do this because I am truly scared to get this operation. My actions are due to my distorted thinking. My fears are that I will no longer enjoy my mothers food.

 

Thanks to all of you who share your stories. I am inspired. I hope to lose these 5 pounds in the next week so I can set my appointment.

 

Good luck on you Journeys, you are all doing amazing.

Veronica
