50+ssallday

I'm 51 and I'm right there with you. My sons are grown, but I want to do things that I haven't been able to do since before the boys were younger. Good luck to you on this wonderful journey!

You can do it! I turned 50 in June. It was a good kick in the ass to get things going in the right direction. My kids are still home for a while, 15 and 9. I have time to make an impact on my life and theirs.
Go you for wanting to run! I never want to run unless I'm being chased

My thoughts on a bad day? Never a bad day, only bad moments in a day. You need alternatives to food that you can turn to for emotional fulfillment. Mine is sugar free candy like lifesavers. You may find some help here.

Why be nervous? I was excited to have a real chance to turn my life around as you should be. I am as excited as I was when I had both knees replaced. No more aches and pains, I can do a swap meet now! Yes, I have lost hundreds of pounds through the years just to put it back on. And now we have this tool that can change our lives if we want to maximize it. With the help of these sites, a good doctor and nutritionist you will be back to running again within the year. But you have to be seriously committed and really want to be a success story, failure is not an option. Yes I got greedy and tried to eat the whole thing but you will only get sick or worse. I look at this opportunity as one last chance to undo my foolish choices in my past. Just think in one year you can reverse that unhealthy body and lifestyle.
Good luck on your journey and best wishes on your success!

You are a beautiful lady. Just keep following the plan.
Try just elininating starchy carbs, they make you crave things. Stick to grilled/baked meats and cooked veggies. When I worked, I had to have a 3 o'clock Protein break - a string cheese and an apple, or a handful of almonds, or a couple ounces of tuna salad. And a short brisk walk.
For liquid diet, it's tough but you can do it. Sam's choice Bone Broth and Premier Protein shakes, both at Walmart. I also like Jay Robb Dreamsicle packets. Good luck.
Just post on here when you need to vent or fid a friend.

It's good you found an online support group, then! I just joined as well. My surgery is on December 28, and my husband, mom, and 2 friends know and are being very supportive, but I'm waiting until after the surgery to decide if I want to tell more people, so I definitely want the online support as well.
My biggest concerns right now are the liquid diet (terrified I'll be hungry the whole time), and that I'm supposed to try and lose 1-2 lbs/week before the liquid diet, which I've been trying to do for over a month with almost no success. I'm great at planning out my food for work all day but then I'm starving when I come home and eat too much. My surgeon says not too worry, the liquid diet will be very effective, but I'm nervous about being able to even DO that diet. Ugh.

Had surgery yesterday...sleeve.
Nothing to it. Only 1 incision is a bit sore. I've been walking all over this hospital.
Only complaints are sore throat from the tube and dry mouth.
I start on liquids today

OMG I'm so glad someone contact me I'm so nervous and happy at the same time I live in Galloway New Jersey

It's funny I'm going through a lot trying to stay on track. Today I didn't will it all.But I refuse to give up. I'm looking for a strong buddy. Someone I can call upon when I have those urges and tell me the truth and not sugarcoat anything.

Pre-op surgery November 27th I'm nervous. I want so desperately to lose the weight and keep it off this time. I'm doing this by myself and I wish I had someone to exercise with. My goal is I just want to be able to run again. Even at the age of 50. My kids are all grown up. And I just want to do something for me to start my life over
