I'm from NJ, but I've moved to the Pocono's. I'm from JC / Plainfield. My Dr is Dr Teleo he's really good. pretty hard at 1st but I like that. He did an amazing job. My sx was on Jan 28,2020. I just had my 7mnth f/u & I lost 50lbs. Not sure if u want to travel up this way bcuz the drive back will b no fun after the sx. Especially w the road bumps. Good luck on finding ur choice. The adventure will b awesome! I'm loving my new body & the way my clothes fit... awesome I tell u..lol I didn't hv choices when I went to my surgeon. I saw him & went w him. I should hv done what ur doing & looked around... Now for my tummy tuck I will get a referral from him to c if I'm comfortable w the Dr & am willing to travel to find the right Dr for my LAST surgery. GOOD LUCK W yours....

My surgery was Jan 28th. I did a week trip & my husband & I share a meal. I tried to order a meal but I can't do it. I ate on that meal for 2 days b4 I have it to my husband. But I found out that BEEF JERKY was good on top of everything else everybody said. I keep protein shakes, crystal light, lots of bottle water & a 20oz shake cup w me @ all times. I do buy the protein bars to eat when I don't hv an appetite. Good luck w ur trip & hv fun!!

I'm 10wks out & I got it (Moderna) just had a sore arm for 2 days. 2nd shot on the 22nd. But I still get tested when I see family.

I AGREE!! it's a MARATHON. and if you've read anything I wrote my crazy Dr thinks it's a sprint. I just think as long as I'm LOSING I'm ?. Keep up the good work

Don't worry... it'll pass. I'm going through it myself it has bn a wk & a half since my scale moved. Just keep eating what is suppose to b eating &it'll move again. Stay off the scale for a few day. I keep getting in the scale & saw nothing moved. So I stayed off for 5 days & it finally moved. Not as much as my Dr would hv liked but I'm happy w my results. ?. You'll b fine! Keep up the good work!!

18 grams - 7٪ & 2gram sugar But I've stop eating bread & pasta. I'm dwn to 199lbs. Following my stupid Dr's advice was throwing me off so I've bn talking to my friends that's had the GS & their ways bn working. My anxiety is up bcuz I hv an appt w him tomorrow. UUUUGH! I HATE his visits.

My surgeon said 1 protein shake & water. In between my meals & THAT protein shake is considered a meal. In drinking water that's no problem. It's the meals... I'm thinking I'm getting the hang of it tho. Not so hungry just hv to remember to eat every 2-3hrs and finish around 7-730pm Thanks bcuz I've gone back to my book to try & figure out where im suppose to b about 3 months out. I'm still losing weight (thank goodness)

Yeah,I hear y'all... I've quit the bread & noodles for now. So I've lost 5lbs total... hoping to lose 1 more lbs b4 Weds ? bcuz I no old Dr Meanie is gonna say 6LBS IS NOT ENUF!

I had the GS. I stayed 2 nights because. I arrived@ 10am but my surgery didn't happens till 3pm. So I slept the 1 day because of the anesthesia. The next day I walked & walked & tried to drink and then I left out on the 3rd day about 2ish. The nurses were really nice they told me to take my time getting dresser & to let them know when my ride was near&they would take me down .... due to Covid.. I was catered to very well in the hospital. But it was nothing like coming home where the REAL pain hit after 6hrs. ? but I wouldn't change that for the ? Good luck on ur journey!!

I so agree w u. But try telling that to my Dr. The last visit I swear we were literally YELLING in the office b4 I took a deep breath & ignored him like I use to do w my kids when they were lil. All he kept saying is that I was CHEATING! On what I couldn't tell u. I went from liquid diet - soft foods. Yes there was another discussion on that bcuz I was looking forward to the Puree stage. I am NOW losing weight. Bcuz I went back to the book & just extended my FULL LIQUID for an extra week along w my soft foods. High Protein, Protein & lil veggies along w my sugar free ice pops & jello. If lost 6lbs but I hv another 4lbs to lose by Weds.. ?... I'll b glad if I lose another 3lbs. I feel losing slowly is better than a running a marathon. So I'm good. But I hate to c this dr come Weds

I like it surgeon's diet. I'm keep to your diet. Bcuz mind isn't clear on what I'm suppose to do. Right now I'm staying on high PROTEIN diet & some veggies. My surgeon said that I should hv ? ? & ? &mash ?. I don't like mash potatoes so I don't eat them. & my sugar free ice pops & jello are my to go to sweets for now ? & some exercise &my delicious ?, ? & a splash of cran-rasberry water treat ?. I think I should lose something by nxt week

I hv an Ass for a Dr. His directions stuck bcuz 1 at they tell me to go by the book like it's my Bible. Then after surgery he tells me NOT to go by the book so I hv no ideal where in suppose to b. But I'm SUPER GLAD I took this plunge. I'm going slow but I c my shape coming along... I feel if I had Good direction I would b in a better place. But over all I'm glad I did this &yes I lost about 20lbs (being I wasn't that big to begging w) according to me lol. Go for it!!. Everyone's different. Good luck w Your new journey!

Thanks. I hv changed the way I've bn eating, thinking & exercising. I got on my Eliptical (I think that's how it's spelled) for 15 mins every other day, been doing alot of repotting my plants (that's took a day) & I bought a dance pad for Christmas to play w my grands (they r only here 2x's a year) cleanings 1 bdrm at a time (I hv 4) & painting them plus I'm forcing myself to nibble every 3hrs so I don't starve myself. I am getting my fluids in (ole lucky ?, ? & a splash of cran-raspberry) My hunger pains are gone but I hvnt bn on the scale. I hv noticed my body shape is coming around so I might b losing inches right now. This STALL thingy is mind boggling but even if I lose 8lbs my crazy Dr will tell me it's not enough! I just figured I'm going to let him rant & rave this time. He's worst than Dr Now on my 600lbs life. Uuuugh.... I dread seeing him

I feel ur pain ? I'm drinking lemon, cucumber & a splash of cranberry raspberry just for color that seems help me for now

Protein shake & yogurt smoothies are a delight. It's filling & takes the crave of sugar away. I like that. Thanks! ?
