Thanks Lisa. Jack says the diner is a block from the Babylon station? I can google it to know what direction to go towards...or if you can give me a landmark or two, I should be able to find it. Or feel free to wait for me at the station so I can walk with you and not get lost... ;) I'll send you a text before the date just to coordinate.

I want to thank everyone for the kind words of encouragement. I just received a call from my insurance carrier saying my pre determination has been approved.

I've been relentlessly calling Blue Cross and the surgeons office since Monday. I don't think they like me very much right now but I was not willing to accept anything less than an all out effort on their part.

Everyone's support here on this site as well as at home gave me the strength to push through.

Thanks again to all of you. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 17th.

Hi all:

Did well last night at our holiday party. I had too much dessert...but did not overeat otherwise. Talked more with the therapist about why I'm struggling with the food but will also likely look to get another fill after the new year.

Got exact directions to the coffee shop from my boyfriend so I'll be on the 12:25 that gets me to Babylon at 1:44. He said it wouldn't take five minutes to get to Jacks. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Liz

Hi,

Congrats on 10 weeks out!!! How are you doing? Tomorrow I will be 4 months post op and down 56 pounds. I am in a stall right now, but it happens to everyone, so I just embrace it.

I look forward to meeting you Saturday. We will be meeting at Jack Jacks coffee House in The Town of Babylon @ 2 pm. I will post the address for everyone later in the week.

Hi all:

Just texted with Lisa. I won't be there unfortunately. It's not even weather related. I'm going through a pain flare and even with being on steroids, my back is not good. I'm so sorry I'll miss you all. Was so looking forward to this afternoon. If you cancel...or even if you don't...please know that I'm already anticipating the next meeting.

I am out and about this morning. (Neither rain nor sleet nor ... shall stop me from getting gray roots covered!). Main roads are slushy but fine. Side streets are a mess but it is raining now so should get washed away soon.

I really wanted to be there but I'm going to pass on today. I'm 5 days post op. Doing really well. Recuperating at my girlfriends house in north babylon. I'm hoping we can all meet up sooner than later. Can we shoot for the week between Christmas and new years?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
