As a parent of an adult son whose been in trouble in the past, I understand. It's difficult to refrain from feeling guilty and distraught. We want the best for our kids but sometimes they make choices causing circumstances that we can't control. Focus on what you can control such as food, time, thoughts, etc. Prayer helps too.

I wish this forum would reactivate, and all of us "late baby boomers" could socialize. I had my surgery done on Aug 22, 2013. At my highest weight that I know of (Jan of '12), I was 327. When I had surgery last August, I was 271. I'm now at about 219. I don't really know my actual weight bc I only get on the scale at the doctor's office (I have scale issues.... LOL). I'm 53 (going to be 54 at the end of next week). My husband is 54. We joined a gym in June of 2013, and we are there SIX DAYS A WEEK. He's lost 50+pounds by working out and making better food choices, we are both in better shape NOW than when we were in our 30's and 40's.... Seriously! Keep posting, LET'S TRY TO GET THIS "FIFTIES" THREAD GOING AGAIN!!!!

I love this topic too! I'm 55 and scheduled for surgery in August. I love reading these posts, so full of helpful info and experiences.
Let's keep it going.
