New York City and surrounding suburbs meet and greet



Recommended Posts

For those interested, we're doing our first NYC and surrounding area meet and greet. Details below. Hope to see as many as possible.

Date: Saturday, February 8th, 2014

Time: 3:00 PM

Location: Europa Cafe. 1412 Broadway (between 39th and 40th streets)

If we find that we want to do this on a regular basis in future, we'll look for public spaces that aren't necessarily food related

Put me down as a definite....MAYBE...but I am subscribing to this thread to follow it along.

I have to check with my daughter, she is planning a "food and Culture" Tour through Central Greenwich Village....it might be that weekend...

I'm in NJ, but it's a breeze taking a train in....

Weekends are my family time. :-)

Would it be possible to do a weekday another time? I'd really love to do something around 4-5ish during the week.

Perhaps once the weather is nicer we will pull a weekday event together. Don't count it out :)

Hi all:

Now that I know the weather will cooperate, I just wanted to send this out again to remind everyone about Saturday. Some of us have been trying to figure out a way that we can recognize each other but I must admit I don't have any ideas. I'm rather hesitant to carry a flower or some such thing. So...just look around for a curly haired brunette with a cane. That will be me. If anyone has an idea for how to find each other, please say so. See you soon!

Liz

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
