I am in New York City, that photo was in Dutchess County, about 100 miles north of the city when I went Apple picking with my friends. Its really pretty out of the city.

Wow Crisanne, I love your hair!

Thanks for the hair compliment. I have been growing it out for 3 years, and the color is from the sun in the summer here in the city. I am so worried that I am going to lose it a few months into the band. I didn't like it in the photo, so thanks so much again.;)

This picture was taken a few days before my surgery. I hope I learn some better poses when I lose weight. Looking forward to posting some after pictures.

Good Luck to all.

ChrisAnn - I see a Mets bag in the picture. Are you a fan? I am a big Mets fan. I live in New Jersey. Are you in the NYC metro area?

I live in Brooklyn, NY, NYC. I have a ticket plan with the Mets, but with the increase this year, and the doubt they will offer me the same package in the new stadium, this may be my last year. Had the seats for 10 years now.

This is me and my dog at Dogs Day at Shea in September.

Hi All,

Please add me the the "MERRY LOSERS" Just got my date: 12/26/2007.

Yes, Yes, Yes I know its the day after X-mas. I've eaten enough

X-Mas dinners, right???

I just want to say a big "Thank You" to everyone here. You have given me so much knowledge and information, not to mention HOPE. I know this is right for me and that I CAN do it. I look forward to getting to know you and travel this road together.

I have very supportive family/friends and look forward to starting my new life next Wednesday.:omg: But there are somethings they just don't or can't understand. That's where ya'll come in.

Anyone out there from Louisiana?? I'm from a town just West of New Orleans. Surgery at Ochsner Hospital with Dr. W. Richardson.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

My before pic was taken on Thanksgiving Day at my sons Engagement Party in Las Vegas wahooooo!

(I know this pic is too big, I don't know how to resize)

How 'bout dem Saints???

Don't get me started on the food down here! That's why I am the size I am. I also love to cook and I'm good at it.ahahhaha

Jambalaya, Gumbo, smothered anything!!!!!!!

I must stop the madness.

My husband came home this weekend with a KING CAKE.. Good lord, Mardi Gras is 2 months away:eek: Ours lives revolve around food. Catching it (big fishermen/hunters), cooking it, eating it, eating it, eating it.

How is you family dealing with your decision to have the band?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
