hi there
i HATE the word ONLY
ie i ONLY lost 3 lbs
I ONLY do Water exercise!!
take that word out of your vocabulary!!!
sorry you temporarily tripped, slid off that darn horse
but i know you'll get back on program
60 lb weight loss - did that put you at GOAL?
do you remember ALL the rules you need to follow
water, Protein, carbs, portions etc???
get a jump start and do primarily liquids for a few days
doesn't do any good kicking yourself in the asssss!!!!!
it hurts too!!!
Diabetes I, terrible arthritis, 2 artificial knees
oh no!
gotta get back on the straight and arrow
follow drinking and eating rules NOW!!
you did it before, you can do it again!!!
good luck
kathy

Hi ckunes. Don't be so hard on yourself, we all make mistakes and fall back into old habits sometimes. The key is to realize where you went wrong and go from there. Like you said, you are a RN so you know what you have to do. I wish you the best going forward.

I will be 65 in a couple of weeks and I am looking foreward to dressing like a ****!

I have a 56 boogie due to achalasia. I can eat a cup of dense Protein. Lost 60 lbs at 6 months out

I do see my face as deflated. Lol I don't like it and i am contemplating a face lift but not sure if I want to put out all the money for it. I am at an age where I too am almost 60. Such tough decisions to make. Lol. My stomach looks like a deflated muffin, skin on my thighs is loose. And I can reach back and grab a big fold of skin. but I look really good in cloths.

I don't know how beneficial they are, but the coconut chews from GNC are quite tasty!

Besides "super hydrating"? How do we feel about this post op?
Also, anyone tried coconut chews, are these beneficial?

I was sleeved October 10th 2012 and I'll be 65 in January- Surgery was a cinch, no pain,nausea or reflux. I had both of my knees replaced at the same time a year ago so limmited walking, some upper body stuff and Water exercise classes 3x a week is all I do. I finall got a handle on my diet and am now starting on soft foods. Only a half cup total. I am a retired prison nurse who got bored and now I substitute nurse in the school system! I cant wait to get into jeans again and not stretch clothes!!!

Hi Tammy, I'm retired from hospital nursing and was a prison RN for 11 years. I'm 65 . I was sleeved 5 months ago. Lost 60 lbs so far. I also had bilateral knee replacements 17 months ago. Everything is better since the weight loss! I've had no problems and go to Water exercises 3x a week.

Some people are just afraid of change--- Any change good or bad threatens security!

I'm 65 and was sleeved in Oct. lost almost 60 lbs. had both knees replaced 17 months ago. I do Water aerobics too . I wish I could walk more of a distance. Maybe by summer when the weather warms up my knees won't be so stiff and achy!

I was sleeved in Oct and down almost 60 lbs. I'm 65 yrs old. Are you a Red Hatter? I belong to a group in the Attica/ Warsaw area. How are you doing?

Seriously, I was 65 when I had it in Nov. and chose the sleeve over the bypass which insurance would have paid for. (Michigan) I've lost 50 pounds, weight less than I have for more years than I can remember!!!! I'm getting ready to train at 66 to walk or run a 5 K with the group from my surgeon's office and the nut. I'm getting a treadmill again so I can workout at home and will continue to go to Water aerobics at the Y. Hope all is well!

What a beautiful inspirational story. God bless you!

The oatmeal blends into a flour when put in a small blender and mixed with the other ingredients. I poured it into a non stick pan and it made 4-5 small pancakes. Easy and very good!

I've read a lot about those of you have lost hair, but I was wondering if there is anyone who has not lost hair? Or is it just impossible? Thanks!

If I wasn't 65, had 2 artificial knees and sagging skin, I would like to sing and dance in Vegas!!!

well my story outa make you feel better about yourself. sleeved on 11/12/12 weight day of surgery about 222. Today I am only at 209. you do the math - 13lbs. That's it! over christmas weeks I lost nothing. I ate a little less mindfully and had a few Lindt candies, but still nothing. So this week I hit everything on target - 72oz Water, Protein protein protein. little to no carbs - what do you know? I stepped on the scale this morning and it is STILL 209. I'm gonna continue and then weigh myself in a few more days, and if still nothing - I'm going back for a refund! LOL. Could I possibly be the only sleeved patient that never loses any more weight? Dear god I hope not...
