Topic: Happy Monday!!
Hello NY friends,
A beautiful day here and I thought I would hop on and say hello![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/wavey.gif)
I have been slacking in the OH area and figured I better get my butt in gear and log on!!
So how has everyone been doing?? My eating habits haven't been all that great. I find with a picky hubby and picky eating kids all the good stuff I want I have to forever eat the leftovers!
We have been so busy already and school hasen't even started yet. I need to plan and organize meals so I don't pick during the day. I find myself munching on chips when I make someone a
sandwich, granola when I want something sweet and drinking diet pepsi again!! I almost hate myself for falling into some bad habits again! UGH!
So how about you guys?? What are you doing/eating to prevent yourselves from falling??![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/shrug.gif)

Good luck on the TT!!
I would love to get my thighs done first then the boobs.
My boobs look like two skin tags hanging off my chest!
BUT...my legs! THey are nasty! Look like elephant knees and melting wax thighs!
Oh, how I wish I had money to do it! Did you insurance take care of any of it??

Topic: RE: Happy Sunday!
HELLO!
It was a beautiful weekend! Did a little walking, eating, swimming and sun tanning!
Concentrating more on my food intake. Had gained a few and didn't want it to get out of hand so I had to pull in the reigns!!
Sorry I am a day late!
Also haven't been on too much lately :(
I think that's what contributes to the crummy eating and weight gain too!
So.....
TTFN,
Lisa

Topic: Happy Sunday!
Good morning NYers!
Today is going to be a GREAT day!
I began my day by having an AWESOME CLICK protein drink (made with skim milk for extra protein, crushed ice and splenda)! Then I walked a mile and rode my rusty old bike (which I haven't done in several years. My goal was to also run/jog for a mile, but I wasn't able to do this. I tried but had a bad pulling sensation in my lower tummy and decided to wait to run (I guess I'm still not totally healed since my last plastic surgery procedure)?
Anyway, I am inspired by this wonderful warm feeling that the sun has brought me today and hope to once again begin including exercise as part of my daily routine.
Let's do it together!
What are you doing to make this day GREAT and successful? Come on, don't be shy!

Topic: RE: WLS in Orange or Westchester County
IF you are going to go local, make sure the surgeon you picks has enough experience. I chose NYC because my surgeon is highly experienced - he has done over 1500 surgeries and I feel he is highly qualified. He has a high sucess rate and low complication rate. I wouldnt' want to go to someone that has only done a few hundred surgeries. Practice makes perfect. The traveling isnt that bad, I live in Rockland County and travel 45 minutes into NYC. I dont' have to do it that often, more often the first year. I went 3 times preop, then post op - 2 weeks, 5 weeks, 3 months, 6months, 9months, 1 year, 18months, 2 years, and then 2 times per year for life. My surgeon has a great program with a great nutritionist. I never would have gotten to goal and had such good labs without my Nutritionist.
