Hey guys! I'm looking to join or start a local VSG support group as well as the one's on here. Is there anyone who has been sleeved in Vegas that would be interested?

Ok guys, there are about a gazillion Protein bars on the market, and let's be realistic, the majority are just glorified candy bars. So this begs the question, has anyone found some exceptional Protein Bars for a Meal Replacement on the go that they would like to share? What is the best taste/protein content/lowest calorie/and most natural ingredients that you have tried? Also, has anyone tried to make their own yet? I'm thinking about playing around with some recipes and seeing what I can come up with :-)

I ended up buying the variety pack from Quest directly. Much cheaper that way and now I can try every flavor to see what I like.

I've been looking into the uses of coconut oil and man are they lengthy. This stuff is a gold mine! Some that may interest y'all... Helps to tighten and regenerate skin cells, reduces wrinkles, curbs nausea, and when rubbed into the scalp daily it helps to regenerate hair cells for hair regrowth. Google it, I'm sold :-)

Yeah I'm going to get crap for this, but this is why I don't like this site. Judgmental and controlling people. Listen, I'm about to lay some truth on you. You got fat for a reason. You had an unhealthy relationship to food. And guess what, it is EQUALLY unhealthy to be afraid of food. An indulgence is just that, an indulgence. It is not an every day thing. It is allowing yourself the pleasure of ENJOYING your life!! If you don't, then why bother getting VSG in the first place? So that you can be thin and miserable. Ok, you go ahead, but I am going to be happy and eat some popcorn once in a blue moon... Omg and maybe some pizza *gasp* I'm sure you will get over it, and if you don't, I won't think of you while I am thin, happy, and healthy and you are angrily scrolling through forums looking for someone to dump on. There's your not so nice truth from an extremely nice person who has seen quite enough of this bullying. Have a blessed day!

Ah ha! I figured out how to add signatures to the app... My laziness has paid off

Hey guys! Please come and support my VSG Journey on YouTube. You can subscribe to my VSG Vlog: Anna LV Let me know if any of you have a YouTube vlog too so I can follow you!

So... What you all are saying is that in two weeks I can have a slice of pizza and a bit of cheeseburger? Because that's what I'm hearing. :-) And no, I won't be posting in here that I "cheated". I will be happy to be alive, on the path to a healthier me, and enjoying my indulgence on rare occasion. Because life isn't worth living if you don't LIVE. What's fantastic about acknowledging that something is unhealthy is that you KNOW that it's unhealthy. Then you can make it a once in awhile treat instead of a daily or every other day habit. (And I'm not just saying this because I'm on a diet of baby food right now lol) I really want to stress how important it is that we address our food issues in a healthy way instead of running screaming in terror from a French fry Sorry... I just had to get that out. I can't sleep and I have been reading wayyy too many "omg I ate a chip and I'm never going to lose weight" posts. Love y'all!!!

I would be interested after I heal some more :-)

I used to eat shiritaki noodles all the time when I was a vegetarian. The texture takes some getting used to and you need to rinse them REALLY well and let them dry pretty well to help with the texture, but then they are fantastic and super low in calories.

I will plan on setting one up :-) I'll post as soon as it's done

Subscribed! Thanks!

Awesome! Maybe I should make a group. Does everyone have Facebook? I could make a private group

That would be great! I'm also doing a YouTube vlog if you want to keep up with me there. Shoot me a message and we can keep in touch. Oh and my you tube handle is Anna LV

Hey Molly, he does! I am going to ask about them at my two week appointment. I'm in the Southwest. Where are you?

Yep that's exactly what I read too! Thank you! And for scars, the scrub that was mentioned earlier. You can mix it with sea salt and/or sugar for a daily exfoliating scrub on scars and stretch marks. For wrinkles and skin tightening just rub it in like lotion :-)

I want a cheeseburger, maybe some bacon, mmmm or NY style pizza..... I wonder if they make bacon flavored Protein shakes. :-D I guess it doesn't matter that I can barely take in four oz of liquid right now.
