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

To Jerz, congratulations on the baby, what a blessing! 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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
