Hello fellow New Yorkers!!

Hi!!  Oh wow ...I'm so excited.  I have been on OH for close to a month now and have been trying to figure out if they had a forum specifically for people in your own state and area.  Well, I finally stumbled upon it today!  My name is Dawn and I'm 4 weeks Post Op from a RNY bypass.  This has so far been the best thing I could've ever done.  I am down 24 pounds and can't wait to see the rest just melt off.  I work out 5 times a week (and always have, just didn't see any results) and hope this helps melt more weight off.  My biggest complaint right now is the stuck feeling I get after taking my vitamins.  I was told on Mon to start taking my vitamins whole or halfed...EWWW this is terrible.  I am looking into finding some chewable calcium citrates that don't have alot of calories.  I know the citracal you chew 3, but they are 35 cal each...I don't really need the extra calories right??  Anyway..It's so nice to find a NY forum.  I look forward to talking to you all soon!!

Hmm...thanks Cheri!!  I think I'm going to look into the Viactiv chewables.  I appreciate your help!! Dawn
