I'm 65 and started the diet June 26 (bmi 38) I don't know how to do the tracker yet, just learning to get around. I lost 11.5 lbs started at 236, now 225,5. trying to get to 154 i hope, I was 150 when I was younger until I had uterine cancer and had to have a hysteroctomy, then my weight went from 165 to 196 got married 2nd time was single 19 first husband abusive, but met my husband in church we are both born again, Retired because Bob had lung cancer then Father in Law died and I had to quite work to sell the house and take care of husband. Tried getting a job, but they only lasted a few months and then lost them, In my old city Middletown Ny I use to swim regularly. and when I live now YMCA or Gold's gym are 1 hour away. My hairdresser is going to let me use her communty pool when I can go swimming again., Had my surgery yesterday, had headache, gas pain in my shoulder, incisions hurt, but tolerable, also had extreme sore throat, but all that subside today, everything is good, on liquid diet until I see dr on Monday, today is Thurs, thinking of going to support group but it is 45 minutes away, not sure how I will fair driving that long, will try anyway. Glad to see other seniors, had the lapband, I feel like a new person, i purchased a bathing suit size 14, can't wait to be that size, I went from 2x to xl with 11 lb weight lost, so that was great I have a lot of xl siZes.

I just put bariatric recipes and I found. spark .com its a support group for dieters and they have bariatric recipes
I alaso found Foerdtert its a medical college of Wisonsin and they have a lot of recipes. I hope I remember these two places when I can eat. I just had surgery last Wednesday and I am on Protein and liquids so I have a while to go before I am eating.

This is my third day and i am hungry, I can only have zero calorie drinks, i did beef both, crystal light herbial tea, but I am still hungry, i have done fast before but this one is causing me grief. Thank God I can sleep i slept 10 hours last night
