I was sleeved August 16 and have lost 55 lbs (37 lbs of which post surgery). I'm female aged 60 and have started exercising, mainly swimming and cardio/strength at gym, in the last 6 weeks. I still have severe lower back pain. I've found it hard to quit alcohol but have certainly cut back. So long as scales keep heading South, even slowly, I'll persevere x

Hi Christinafin. I had my sleeve surgery at Glasgow Nuffield in August 16 under Mr Simon Gibson. Lovely man! I'm aged 60 and a slow loser but feel so much better and using gym and swimming pool regularly. Lost 55 lbs so far. Feel free to ask me any questions and good luck x

I like a drink too. It has no doubt slowed my weight loss but I do drink less than before. HW 19 st 4lbs SW 18 st 23/8/16 CW 15 st 4lbs I am 60 years old and now so much fitter doing swimming and gym.

March 3 218 Down 0.5 this week [emoji5]

Atkins shakes, Skyr yogurt, home made pureed soups eg Cauliflower Cheese Soup. Sweat onion and garlic in butter, add chopped cauliflower and 2 Kallo organic chicken stock cubes in 1 litre water. Cook until cauliflower soft, then blitz with processor. Optional - melt in grated cheese or cheese triangles for added flavour/protein. x

I'm a slow loser too. Sleeved 8/23 HW 270 SW 252 CW 221 I've had a number of overseas trips as I recently retired, with wine once or twice a week which I appreciate slows weight loss too. However, I plan to persevere, and up my exercise. Have a bad back so has been mainly swimming and aqua Aerobics. Sent from my SM-T550 using the BariatricPal App

I think you should see a gastrointestinal consultant to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Sent from my SM-T550 using the BariatricPal App

You are very lucky with your local NHS criteria. Many parts of the UK it's virtually impossible! Good luck x Sent from my SM-G903F using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved aged 59 in Glasgow, August 2016 and have lost 50 lbs. I'm a slow loser and am struggling to quit wine! I get that choked feeling when I eat too fast and that can lead to eating beyond full which is uncomfortable. I also think my metabolism is out having yoyo dieted for too many years!

How are you now? I envisage needing thigh lift and tummy tuck in maybe a year x Sent from my SM-G903F using the BariatricPal App

You are very lucky to get it on NHS. In West of Scotland you need to be diabetic or sleep apnea. Otherwise forget it!! Or private. Used my husbands pension. Sent from my SM-G903F using the BariatricPal App
