Anyone from Long Island New York

Your meet and greet sounds good @@lisacaron!

Too bad 3000+ miles keeps lots of us from meeting our band friends.

Hope you have a great turn out!

@@Julie norton I know...we will have to stop and see you on our next west coast visit!

Sounds like a deal. Come to the California coast!!!

I'm going to somewhere outside Boston .. Tanglewood? To see James Taylor July 4 th. With fireworks. Not sure about the venue. Anyone been there?

Thanks in advance

I'm having surgery in 3 days , but i think i may need new friends to go out to dinner or hang out because i doubt any of my friends will understand my new eating habit, not like i suffer from any eating disorder but we typically go out to dine a lot or for drinks. some friends are not alert of my surgery because i decided to keep it private from some of them.

I never told anyone other than immediate family....

I go out with my friends, people from work all the time...while they are devouring greasy burgers, etc, I am very picky about what I eat, and go for the healthiest choices I can. Plus I eat like a bird.

If the menu has nothing but junk like a lot of chains do, then I eat nothing...and I will tell the people I'm with why the menu is not good......I also stopped eating meat after lap band surgery.

And I am one who would eat an entire large pizza at a sitting...now I wouldn't (couldn't) touch it...

You will be surprised at the respect you will get from people...you will be one of the unique ones..admired for taking control of your life, being health conscious, more active with a exercise routine, looking at life from a different angle.

And, when the weight starts to come off, it only multiplies.

The lap band forced me to change my lifestyle, but no one needs to know that...I am after all the one getting educated and making the healthy choices.

As far as alcohol, well that's a hot topic around here....listen to your Dr.

thank you for your input @@B-52 , be alert I'm brand new to this world ,also i live a very private social life when it comes to me going out to dinner or drinks, is not like i dine until a point that i can't breath , is just that most of my friends on days off , meet for dinner or drinks, and since only a few chosen one are alert of my decision for surgery , so is going to be a bit hard to deal with, questions... also I'm always traveling, staying in all-inclusive resorts, unlimited food and drinks so , I'm just curious how would handle it. #dontjudgeme , i can't wait for this adventure . surgery in 2 days .

Let us all know how you are doing after your surgery!!
