Hi all! Reading these posts sure helps me realize I am so not in this alone! I am 58 and am 3 weeks post-op. I, too, had started down the road of "health issues because of your age"; I just wasn't happy with hearing that from my PCD! I have lost about 16.5lbs. since I started this journey. It is very slow coming off since I had a very low BMI (31) to begin with. And, most days I am ok with that. I have to remind myself that the REAL reason I had the surgery was to stop the yo-yo dieting and to be aware that I would really have to work at "rewarding" myself if I had a good day, bad day, lonely day, long day, etc. Of course, the best feeling is seeing the scale move and I must say I'll take whatever I can get. My blood pressure is normal for the first time in several years and my knees don't hurt like they did before.
I want to wish each of you good luck in your journey to good health! I'm really excited to see the progress we are all making!☺️
I've been were you are, the fear the uncertainty , is God in this, and a whole lot of what ifs! I'm 8 weeks post and it is the best thing I've ever done! Yes it's challenging but given all the thing I no longer have to deal with it's well worth it no more insulin, no acid reflux sleep apn better
, can say I breath so much better, joint pain better plus the 50 lb weight loss erasures me I can do this. I know this is a Long term track but as aposed to the one I was on this is 100% better good luck you will love your new you!
