Congrats Jess!!! Can't wait till I'm there what r some things u have been doing?

Thank you! :) you will be there sooner than you think! I eat right, exercise & don't drink anything with sugar or eat anything with more than 10g of sugar & that has been working for me :)

nikiMarie I have some down low. I ate cracker! I have been slacking...sick of the blended stuff.

It's ok, I had one or two during the liquid phase myself! Although now that I'm able to eat solids I can't eat bread or anything like that! Hmmph frustrating at times!

Hey I'm 26 and my surgery date is Dec2

I'm 27 and live in Bronx nyc and I'm hoping for February... Looking for new friends and support throughout my journey and maybe even lifetime friends who knows... Don't be afraid to add me or message me!

I'm 26, live in Queens, my husband and I are about 2 years post op. I've lost about 100, hubby's lost about 120, and we still got 50 more pounds to go each!

There's a lot of us here in NYC, wish there was a meetup event or something for all of us to hang out at :/ We could all swap surgery stories, recipes, give food and exercise tips, etc.
