that's really awesome! congrats on the loss so far. i'm familiar with woodbridge. i lived in colonia and worked in avenel for 5 years. i'm going to the springfield center since it's just a few blocks from my current office. i'm so happy to see a local person on here who is a nj bariatric center patient. i'd love to chat some more as you continue. do you go to the support group meetings? somerset or springfield?

Oh ok! You know the area!! Thanks for the kind words. I've been working really hard to keep the weight coming off. I'm in the process of trying to get into the police academy so I need to drop some more weight if I'm ever gonna make it through in 1 piece. So I'm back to the gym everyday making it happen. We can definitely chat if you'd like. I haven't gone to one that the doctors offer but I went to one in Clark that is done at the RWJ Fitness center. It was really nice. You would be more then welcome if yuppy wanted to join in. It's this sat the 3rd at 1030am. Lemme know if you wanna go and I'll email the leader for you.

Fantastic job!!! You have many wonderful things ahead of you.

Thank you very much!!! I can't wait for the future!!

just wondering how you're doing after 2+ months? i'm going to nj bariatric as well! i saw montes first, but my second visit was with glassnap. i'm hoping to set a surgery date this week for sometime in june. great to see jersey folks on here. i'm from garwood.

Hey I'm doing very well! Feeling great!! Tomorrow is actually 10 weeks and I'm down 51lbs!! Couldn't be happier with the progress. I like Montes and Glassnap but I decided to go with Montes. She made me feel the most comfortable. You going to Somerset or Springfield? You're not too far from where I am. I'm in Woodbridge.

Hi I'm in central NJ Perth Amboy so close too!!!

Do you have a link to Dr. Montes? I'm considering Dr. Abkin.... So scared!!!!

Here's the link to her center http://www.njbariatriccenter.com/?fullversion=1

Nj bariatric, me too! Dr Goyal. Had surgery this past Mar 19. I'm in Carteret.

Small world!! I wasn't a fan of Dr. Goyal when I met him. I liked Montes the best! How are you feeling since surgery?

Jp

You're in Woodbridge, I'm in Edison! Who's your surgeon! I'm just starting my journey!

That's awesome! You're super close! My surgeon in Dr. Montes from the Bariatric Center of NJ. Yours?

That's awesome! How are you feeling?

I feel great!! I jogged for the first time in I don't know how long yesterday!!

J..

Excellent! tuna and chicken.. Well.. Haha anything with a different texture than shakes and liquid sound awesome!! Glad you are transitioning so well! Keep it up!

Hey! How are you feeling!?

Hey guys sorry I haven't been on in a while. Been really busy. So today I'm 6 weeks post-op and I'm down 35.5! That puts me at almost 52 since I started my pre-op! I'm stoked!!

You're doing so awesome! Still sore but getting better. I'm so proud of you and your progress! I'm so glad to have u as an inspiration by following your journey! Tell me about the phase your in now with eating...

Thank you!! I appreciate that very much!! It's definitely a little rough but the end result is worth it. Right now I'm back to a regular type of diet for the most part. I usually eat egg whites or oatmeal for Breakfast and a shake or some type of protein(tuna or chicken usually) for lunch and dinner.< /p>

JP.. Glad to know that u are doing so well... Hard to believe you are already 5 weeks out! I know it will get better everyday.. Thanks for the encouragement!

Yeah I can't believe it's been 5 weeks already!! I'm down 34.5 as of today!! I can't wait till the summer time for the first time in I can't remember!! You're welcome! How are you feeling?
