NJ local group new member introduction



Recommended Posts

Good morning all! I just wanted to introduce myself to the group. My name is Julie, I live near Princeton, and I'm 48 years old. I'm getting banded on August 12th (one week from today!) by Dr Nusbaum in Livingston NJ. I have about 70 or so pounds to lose. I am looking forward to "meeting" all of you and supporting you in whatever way I can! Thanks for being here.

-Julie

Hi Julie,

Good Luck tomorrow! I see Dr. Nusbaum today for my 1 week check up. I was banded on the 5th. So far (on my scale) I lost 11 pounds. You'll do great. The first few days are sore but now I am sleeping better and moving around better.

I'm in West Long Branch so not that far from you guys. Would love to get together with you all but I'm leaving for the Outer Banks on Saturday (woohoo I can't wait lol).

I have a scheduled surgery date of November 24th and I am so looking forward to it. I'm very excited but yet nervous as well. It's funny, I had my gallbladder out like 13 years ago and didn't think twice about going in for surgery but this time is a little different. I was widowed 6 1/2 years ago so I'm the only parent my kids have (they are 15 and 13) so of course I can't help but think "what if......" I believe everythiing will go fine but it's still in the back of my mind. I enjoy coming on and reading all the positive support you get on this site and even some negative comments, it all is very informative. November cannot come soon enough :thumbup:

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
