Why so silent Jersey Bandsters??



Recommended Posts

I am originally a New Yorker, but I live in NJ and I am hoping to get banded very soon. I don't have a date yet but I am hoping to make it happen before Halloween (don't know why just picked that date...lol).

I am wondering if there are any Central Jersey support groups or people in Central Jersey who want to support/mentor?

I always find it strange that no matter how educated and professionally successful I am, my battles with food and eating have always been out of my control. And I'm a control freak so that bothers me. LOL. I am from the Caribbean so I am used to very rich, flavorful (and plentiful) food. So a liquid diet is a foreign concept to me, though I have been sucessful at it so far.

Anyway, I just joined this site yesterday and I would love to meet more people in the Central NJ area or anywhere in NJ for that matter.

Please feel free to send me PMs just to say hi!

Hope to hear from you.

I am from Northern N.J. I live close to the George Washington Bridge. My doctor has an office in Pompton Plains (not sure if that is central N.J.). Which is about 45 minutes from where i live. He also has an office in Paramus, that is where i go to. I am having my surgery 9/22/10. When are you having your surgery?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
