I had my vgs on September 23, 2013. I must say that it does get better. I have lost and gain and lost and gain weight but overall I have maintained 100 lbs weight lost over the years. I have been a victim of body dysmorphia and I have beaten myself about it over the years. My advice is to give yourself grace and be patient with yourself. Most of all love your self and your body. Find what works for you. I have learned that discipline is best. I don’t drink sodas or carbonated drinks. I don’t eat candy and I only treat my self to treats every once in a while. I also learned to fast. Eating between 2pm and 9pm works best for me. Ensure that I intake mostly protein and find a way to stay active. It wasn’t easy but it does get better. Must love to everyone and I wish you all a successful vgs journey.
