Just wondering if there are any support groups in North Jersey?? I know my surgeon has one once a month but I don't think many people attend it.
It's tonight but I am already going to a nutritional seminar with my co worker who is looking/in the process to get VSG. I havent found my nutritionist helpful so going to this may be good for me.
Thanks!
I have a Planet Fitness membership. Membership not required, I can bring you as my guest. Just need someone who can relate to the WLS journey who will help me be accountable! Ladies only please. (Don't want hubby getting the wrong idea)

14 pounds lost before surgery. My first ticker is when I hit onderland: this was my goal when I started on this journey. I want to focus on that right now...once I get there I can reevaluate.
My second ticker is my dream goal. Even if I only visit there for a short time, it would be nice to see that number just once. I am pretty sure I'll need plastics to hit this goal.
