kbuck3779 11 Posted July 22, 2016 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!!

reducer623 137 Posted August 7, 2016 Hi! I'm in Cranford but many ppl disagree about it being "central". I was sleeved 7/14/16 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jersey0601 99 Posted August 7, 2016 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 99 Posted August 10, 2016 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 ?

kbuck3779 11 Posted August 11, 2016 @@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. ⛵️♌️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bwaltsak 1 Posted August 17, 2016 Hey all! Asbury park area- I was sleeved in 7/22. Feeling great- but slightly discouraged with my progress. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bwaltsak 1 Posted August 18, 2016 @@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!
