Central Jersey Sleeved 7/12!

[kbuck3779 11]

Hey there! I was just sleeved on 7/12/16 and am from the Central Jersey (Somerset Cty) area. Looking for others in the area, maybe to start a group, or to simply just be supportive and know that locally you have a friend nearby!!

I know - I am a transplant and I think raritan, sommerset. Etc are northern jersey ... But then my " true" north jersey friends say I might as well be from Pennsyl- tucky ... So I guess it is all relative ...

@@jersey0601 I'm on phase 3 soft foods, which has been a bit tough because there's only so many soft foods out there!! How about you? I'm over in the Manville area

Hi kbuck3779 .... How are things ? I'm not sure what phase 3 soft foods are ... But any real food is better than liquids, right ? You going to the gym or staying active ? I'm going to my first zoomba ( sp?) class today - trying different exercises each week

@@jersey0601 So far not too bad, I've definitely hit my 3 week stall, but I'm glad I'm not solely on liquids any more!! I've been doing a lot of walking, trying to stay somewhat low impact, but I've been using light hand weights to help with upper body.

Hey all! Asbury park area- I was sleeved in 7/22. Feeling great- but slightly discouraged with my progress.

Hi bwaltsak.... Weight loss is slow and steady or just slow

@@jersey0601 I had no idea what to expect, but apparently my expectations were too high. I guess I just read a lot about people having a big loss immediately after surgery. I didn't have that and then i stalled after only 10 days. I'm just about 4 weeks out and this week I am seeing some movement on the scale after almost 3 weeks. It's frustrating- mostly because it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong. And also reminiscent of all the dieting I did pre-sleeve that never produced any results. I'll keep moving forward following my nutritionists plan and tracking all my food. Hopefully it will pass!
