R O L L C A L L !!!

 Jijijii good thing you realized it's the wrong board lol '
  Wow two years! thats wonderful, I have the same problems with exercise, but I go bike riding at least 2 or 3 time a week. 

I'm Mary....from North Jersey,  I've lost 260 pounds, need but am not having plastics,  am still faithful with my vitamins, blood work, etc.,  I had the duodenal switch surgery, so if ya want, ask me about that one!  It's not a popular choice, so there's a lot of missing/wrong info out there....      OH is my support group, but I like the social aspect of the IGT's.  I get to meet people who are successful with all types of surgery.     I try to post something interseting about NJ every week, a trivia fact, but sometimes I get behind!!    Mary C

 I'm looking forward to see you're trivia fact,I love to read!

Hi, I'm Dana and I'm almost 2yrs out from my revision to a DS. I haven't reached goal weight, but I'm plugging along with my vitamins and protein and hoping for the best results further down the road. I love my DS and after having the RNY for 8 years am so thankful for the option.

Yeah, I usually stay away from the Jersey board because, well, nothing happens here. I'll try to make more visits etc. It would be nice to have a support group nearby here in Northern Jersey, but OH works fine for me.

Hi, whats a DS? im ignorant ! 

A DS is an duodenal switch. The best place to become educated about the operation is at this site. www.dsfacts.com

 Thank you!

Let me see if this works this time, I wrote my post and it did not show up,I dont know what I did or did not do!
  Let's start!

   Hi Im Millie ( sexymillie) I had my Gastric bypass 6 month ago. I have lost 71 pounds. since November 30th. Still 32 pounds to reach my goal.

     I love my new life! I can ride a bike,take zumba class ,walk, work ( I had to loss a lot of work day's because I was always sick,and in pain. 

     I have my protein shake each morning, My shakes are protein,spinach,tofu,plain  yogurt .mmmmm yummy! I put my vitamins in this yummy shake.
   Ok I know what face you must be making but thats only part of it ,I add Jello sugar free pudding to it,pistachio some days ,banana cream others,vanilla, chocolate. I had this morning my shake with pumpkin puree with out sugar, banana cream sugar free pudding, cinnamon and splenda. this is so good, and the shake with pistachio mmmmmmmmm o my go****'s heaven!
  I try to take as much protein in this shake as I can thats why I put the tofu and everything else.
 My pouch does not want meat.

  I im not going to a group, I want to go! I have had problems finding the place of my support group the one of my surgeon, I go in to facebook and there I have a lot of Gastric bypass friends, and in OH I am starting to show up.
   I hope to make lots of friend here specially we are all in NJ.
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE IGT SO I CAN MEET YOU ALL!

Hi my name is Grace and I am fat...well less fat than I used to be but still fat nonetheless.

I had Realize Band surgery on December 10, 2009.  I have lost 78 lbs in the past year and a half 42 lb of which was pre-surgery.  Much like Kimi- I often question if the band was the right surgery for me, but when I lay down in bed at night I know that it was. 

I feel better than I have in years....I am more active and energetic.  I take yoga once a week (would go everyday if it was offered at a convenienent time- LOVE IT!) Try to Zumba 1-2 times a week, joined a softball team and walk/chase after my kids in between.  I am doing the Chase Corp Challenge this coming Thursday with a team from work.  3.5 miles in Central Park - my goal is to finish in :59:59.

I keep trying to find this mystery place known as "Onederland", but it seems like I keep getting close and keep missing it.  I have not been there since the 80s and don't remember what it looks like.  My goal is to be there by my birthday (4th of July) but we'll see - 8 to go.....

As for food....

Breakfast: usually Oatmeal w/ protein powder added
Mid Am - cheese stick or fiber bar
Lunch - Lean Cuisine or whatever is left from last night's dinner (today is was some turkey meatballs)
PM - skim latte - a girl has got to have her Starbucks
Dinner - whatever hubby cooks - tonite is was baked chicken, green beans and mashed potatoes
Evening - usually a yogurt or something

Speaking of hubby - he is scheduled for his Realize Band surgery on 7/15 - so we will be banded together forever....

I love going to the IGTs although I have made it to only one so far...hoping to get to at least 1 over the summer now that hockey season is coming to an end.....

So that is me in 60 seconds.....looking forward to reading up on everyone else.....
