Am I the only person completely addicted to this site?!?!? I check it constantly and it seems to be getting worse- the closer I am to surgery the more I'm addicted!!!!

You are definitely not the only one... I kind of obsess about stuff like this, and this site helps me do so without making my wife want to kill me.

Heck no. I am the same way. It help me a lot because it have soooooo much info

Staying around keeps you accountable. No lie...almost every large regain post I've seen (and really, I've only seen a handful in something close to four years) is someone who was not active here at all. They were out there living life and struggling but not sharing it or forcing themselves to be accountable by talking about it here.

I'm guilty of it myself, because when I was having trouble after the birth of my daughter I went off to my hidey hermit hole and avoided VST for a while. I spent a few days doing the mindless snacking thing and gained one pound while still having eight to lose from the baby...no big deal, really, but it goes to show how easy even those of us that have worked very hard at breaking habits and changing our lives can slide in times of stress or anxiety.

Being addicted to VST is far less painful than being addicted to french fries. I'll take this addiction any day.

Yes ma'am

I just joined and I'm the same way!

I wasn't too worried about my surgery but being on here helped quell some of the anxiety I had from the wait and just wanting to get the VSG done. I learned a lot and felt more prepared going in.
