Thanks for checkin' in on me. I've been doing REALLY well. Have been walking walking and walking and eating healthy and the weight has been falling off every month. Love it! I know a plateau may be inevitable but I'm enjoying the steady weight loss for now. How have you been?

You are definitely an inspiration! I will be banded soon. Having some problems with my bloodwork so my surgery was postponed. Maybe I come to you for some tips. Keep it up, I am sure you'll reach goal.

I hope all goes well for you. I hope you are keeping busy today so the time will pass quickly. You will be fine tomorrow. You are in my prayers.

I should've been getting my surgery today, but there were some issues with my blood work. So I have to clear that up first.

Good luck with your surgery!!

My surgery is Nov. 10th. Getting anxious!

I'm doing pretty well with my pre op diet. It's now day 8. And I've lost 8 lbs. Only complaint is that I'm starting to get diarrhea now, even though my drinks don't have lactose. Ughh!! But I'm hanging in there.

Today, I almost had a breakdown though because my primary doctor's office was giving me a hard time about my medical clearance. So, I called NYU (where I'm having my surgery) and told them about the problem. So they are going to let me see a Dr. at NYU tomorrow and he will do my medical clearance. I am thankful that I thought to call my primary today. If I didn't, I would've run into a huge problem.

I've been doing better at work too. Not snapping at people like I was last week. LOL! But if another person asks me if I want any lunch from outside, I'm gonna hurt em'...bad.

Call 212 263 3166 to get to the weight loss center at NYU.

I saw your post. I am being banded at NYU hospital in NYC and I know the surgeons do fills for others as well. Try Dr. Kurian, Dr. Ren, or Dr. Fielding.

Hi Bundy,

Actually my surgery is on Nov. 10th. But I just started my pre op diet yesterday. I am struggling already, but haven't cheated. I live in NYC and the walk to the subway alone will bring a foodie to their knees. LOL! Everything smells terrific! But I'm staying strong. I am having 3-4 protein shakes, and 2 cups of plain non-starchy veggies a day. I was told I couldn't have caffeinated coffee, decaf is a waste so I don't bother. I also had to quit smoking (it's been a month). So you know I've been going through some serious ups and downs.
