dani_nyc 224 Posted February 4, 2013 Erin I'm happy 4 u.... Keep us posted. Dani' date=' I searched in NYC but its not affordable, I'm a self paid client[/quote'] oh.. I know a few people that were self pay that went into jersey because if the price. But don't give up on something for yourself because people don't want to support you. We're New Yorkers! We aren't scared of independence and cabs Lol *jk But.. The same people that will knock your choices now are the same that will be wowowow when you hit your goals! I didn't get my family's support til about a week ago, and even now its with almost a condescending undertone. I refuse to allow them to make or influence my decision that is why I joined this forum! Don't give up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dani_nyc 224 Posted February 5, 2013 Wow! That's so little! Your not allowed veggies? If you are.. Juicing them is fun.. A little weird at first but it helps with nutrition 1 Leslie80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NurseKelly 43 Posted February 5, 2013 I started my pre-op diet on Feb 1st, for my surgery on the 21st. The first few days were super hard, I was hungry ALL the time and had terrible headaches because I was giving up caffeine as well. Today was a bit better but I am STARVING right now!! I don't know how I am going to last the whole 21 days without cheating?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
