Hi, I'm looking for some folks from the NJ area, I had my surgery on January 29 of this year. I've lost 104lbs so far. I haven't had to many problems, knock on wood. Just looking to talk , I keep forgetting to go to the group meetings, my surgeon's office offers. Hope to hear from some fellow New Jerseyans.

Peace,

Mary

Hi! I live in bergen county, about 15 minutes from Giants stadium( you can tell I'm dating myself, by calling it by that name, lol) My surgeon is Dr Ewing, his office is in Paramus,& I had my surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center. What about you? My cousins live in Park in is that central Jersey? What was your weight at the time of surgery, if you don't mind me asking. How much have you lost & have you met your goal weight? I was 386lbs the day of my surgery, on 1/29 & I've lost 104lbs so far, I still have another 134 to loose. As you can tell I'm real chit chatty, hope that doesn't put you off. Talk to you soon.

Peace,

Mary

I had my surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center, my surgeon is Dr Ewing his office is in Paramus. My wt. at surgery was 386lbs, I'm now 284lbs. Just this past week my weight loss has significantly slowed downed, I'm not eating any different, so I've joined a gym here in town hopefully that will kick start it again. Have you experienced anything like that? I'm glad you responded to my post, as you can see I love to talk, I hope you don't mind, where (in general) do you live? I'm not to far from Giants stadium. Talk to you soon.

Peace,

Mary

Hey Mary, my surgeon was in Florham Park but I had surgery in St. Peters in New Brunswick. My weight at surgery was 216 and I am 163 now, my goal is 140... 23 more lbs to go !! I am a VERY slow loser :( I am a size 12 and want to be a size 8 or I will settle for a 10. I run 5 miles every day and I have never been healthier ! My surgeon said stop focusing so much on my weight # but on how I feel.

Congrats on you 104 loss that is amazing, stay focused, and exercise, watch your portion sizes and you will be fine !!!

Hey Mary! I live in Newark and I joined a gym abs worked out until I discovered that I was pregnant. Was told to stop all excessive exercise except light walking to avoid burning off calories. I cannot wait until the baby comes because I am absolutely feigning to get back into the gym!

To Bbdoodle, thanks I just joined a new gym that opened in my town, I don't know how much I'm going to be able to do because of my knees, but I get a free 30minute session with a personal trainer,so I'm sure he/she will be able to set up a plan that will work for me. I never thought I'd say this but, I can not wait to go to the gym !!! Talk to you soon

Peace

Mary

I have 3 sons and a 3yr old granddaughter,(Wow!that makes me sound OLD! ) Growing up all I ever wanted to be was a Mom, but no one tells you that they grow up so fast. Is this your first? Just follow what your Dr's say &you'll do fine. Talk to you soon.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
