WAY TO GO!!! Isn't that the best fun buying clothes now. 62 and one year out lost 100 lbs and feeling great. Passed my goal and still losing. Jogging 4 miles a day. Best thing I did for myself was the sleeve!!!!

I'm 61. I'm 1 year post-op. I lost 10 lbs the few weeks pre-op as my Dr. put me on liquids. I lost another 30 post-op and that was it. I continue to struggle...up 2 lbs...down 2-3 lbs. I can't drop below 175 and my goal weight is 110 (I'm only 5 feet tall). I have 60-80 grams of Protein daily and almost always at 64 oz Water daily. Terribly disheartened and disappointed. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but getting more and more depressed as the months go by and the weight doesn't go down. I feel I'm still dealing with the same struggle as before surgery but now I can't even eat enough to enjoy the food. Terribly disheartened.

I have two Lab/Hound X's.

My kids and I adopted both of them when they were tiny pups from a kill shelter. They're part of my family today.

Out of plus size women's clothing! Hooray!

I have 2 adorable and lovable morkies...Scooter and Daisy.

I seem to be losing steadily. I know its only been 11 days and things can slow down. At the intro class they gave a basic formula and so I was expecting to loose 80 pounds in a year. Just about what a want and under 200 lbs. I watched lots of tubes and read lots of blogs (It seems that people who are eating grill cheese sandwiches a week after surgery like to make videos!) "Average" includes everyone....So was left with the impression that what I will get out of this is exactly what I put in.

With the sleeve I have lost 103 pounds and I was 60 when I had the surgery. Overall in my 50's and 60's I have lost a total of 285 pounds and I can only walk 4 to 5 minutes due to 4 herniated disc and lots of other physical complications due to an accident I had in my 30's and obesity. If I can do it at this age and in this physical condition, You All Can Do It!

I am scared that my sleeve has stretched cause I almost a year out from surgery and I am eating more food, than I did the first couple of months and It worries me. I stop sodas like 6 +months ago. My weight loss is slow. I just don't want to go backwards with the weight loss I wasn't working out all that much but I have now recently increased that as well will my weight loss pick back up again

Try not to get wrapped up in that stuff. I am 5'6" and started out at 293 today I am 169 and still losing. It is much slower now but it is definitely still coming off with the inches. Just keep on keeping on and you will reach your goal before you know it! My surgery was June 6, 2013 so I am 16 months post op and it is still working. [emoji4]

I was also at 41 bmi I think and no other comorbidities. My surgeon just said I was a perfect candidate for the gastric sleeve. I'm now 4 months out and down 68 lbs!

I am a year post sleeve! I have gained 5 lbs, feel like I snack all day and meals. My doctor said my low weight would be 135-140. I have not even gotten close to that. I have lost 67lbs. . I current weight is 154. I am so glad I had the sleeve ,but would like to lose more along with the love handles. My calories 900 a day. 60-70  Protein a day. Drink 65-75 oz  Water a day. I do walk 3 miles three times a week. Light resistance twice a week. Looking for a buddy and support.

I also had started to gain a lil wt back. It scared me really bad! I didn't want to fail and I more than anything wanted to succeed! So I have started back using the Lose it App and consciously exercising more. I'm doing better. Not great bcos now I'm more depressed! I don't want to have to "DIET" my whole life! I guess I didn't get that when this all started...I thought I wouldn't be able to eat enuf to gain weight!!! So dumb!!! Anyway I'm 8 months out and I've lost over 60# . Nights are the worst! Any other suggestions??? Anyone? I'm 61 and disabled with a back injury.

I did not have as much trouble with the drain in or coming out but I had them before so I was expecting it. And def nothing like child birth with my 4! I had them all natural and so my pain tolerance is pretty good.

Keep sipping and get those shakes in. It sounds like you will be feeling markedly better every day from now on! God bless!

Gloria hi I'm Sherry! I am 61 and had the sleeve 8 days ago. I can't tell you what I will lose but I'm a Red Hatter and one of our gals had it at 60 and has done really well. I do no know how much but she looks great and says she feels great! Good luck!

I felt like I could live out the rest of my life as best I could!

The low carb high Protein no sugars low fat shrinks the liver bcos it gives up its stores of glycogen. You must follow what they say closely . Not fun but I'm handling it!
