Hi all. I'm a 48 y.o. man in Northern New Jersey. Very close to the city. I was just banded 4 weeks ago so I'm just starting - but doing well out of the box. :thumbdown:)

Would be glad to meet single woman in the area.

Good luck with your band. I'm coming up on my year bandiversary and I wouldn't change a thing. It's been slow going for me and quite a learning curve to boot.

This website has been invaluable to me as a support.

I'm 42, single and from long island.

I am 33 and live in Manhattan on the UWS. I've had my band on for a while but need to restart my journey and weight loss. Any other Nyers in the city interested in creating a support group to meet up and talk about whats going on. I still need to add my picture here. I just joined today.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
