Just had my 6 week check up and I am down 32 pounds. Today I get to go back to unrestricted food other than a few exceptions. It is so worth it. The surgery was not nearly as bad as I feared. The liquids and pureed foods period seems to go on forever but it really doesn't. Feeling very good about the whole experience so far. Good luck to you who are having surgery soon. The anticipation is worse than the reality. And yes the night before and day of surgery I was asking myself, "What the hell are you doing?" Perfectly normal. The worst part will be over soon.

Day after my surgery found myself saying, "What the hell did you do?" I am one week post op and figure I am going to ask that question a good many times. Hang in there.☺

I measure out 1/4 cup of food and stop when it is gone. I know it takes 20 minutes for my stomach to catch up with what I ate and if I eat more I feel awful afterwards. I am four weeks post surgery.

I googled soft diet bariatric surgery and found quite a few sites with lists of foods

Had my surgery on March 28 soon after my 69th Birthday. I found being tired the first couple weeks to be the main concern. I went back to work this week- I only work part-time but was glad to be back. We older sleevers can do okay. Sorry I waited so long. Sent from my QMV7A using the BariatricPal App

I just had my gastric sleeve on 3/28. I would love a buddy in my age range who recently had surgery.

I also had mine on the 28th. I am not really having any trouble with the liquids and since I like the Premier Protein drink I am not having a problem with Protein. I wake up achy- like I'm healing - but nothing severe. I have only taken liquid Tylenol a couple of times since I've been home.

Glad to read that you contacted the doctor. The aftercare is as vital as the surgery and part of what you are paying for.

I'm 61 and got sleeved 12/21/2015. I have been thinking about this for a long long time. I never have really taken time for myself to a large degree, but I finally said, "MY TIME." I'm doing pretty good, but am developing an upper respiratory infection. (I can taste it when I spit up). I'm worried now if I can take an antibiotic or not being newly sleeved.

My name is Judy, and I am 61. I had my the Gastric Sleeve surgery on November 5, 2015 and am almost four month post op. I have gone from 207 to 186 and have been holding at that weight for some time now. My biggest problem is hunger at night. I want sweets! That part of me is a bad habit from a child and has not changed. As soon as I sit in front of a television, Snacks pop into my head. Even though I have had the surgery, I have to keep in mind to exercise and watch my carbs. I did the best thing every and joined an aqua fitness class, twice a week and it is fantastic! I don't thing you are ever too old to care about your health, as long as it is monitored by a doctor.

Carolyn,I am 69 and had my surgery 3/28/16. Not seeing a lot of us older girls out there.
