There can be a few extra challenges to weight loss surgery later in life. It would be nice to support each other on the journey.

My husband gets bored easily so I have learned to be creative! I cook South Beach diet style for ideas on variety. I also supplement with protein, protein shakes and fruit throughout the day to get in enough protein. That helps me allow "space" for veggies and healthy carbs at dinner.

Hi Tracyringo, I have the same problem. My poor husband sleeps in a hoodie so I can stay cool in bed! In addition to a big fan in our bedroom, I have a small fan on my nightstand pointed at my head! I stay pretty comfortable with that extra little fan running.☺

Hi Lorelli65 - welcome!

I am 50 and am in menopause , ugh the hot flashes at night while asleep keep waking me up !
I need to start building muscle, does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this from home? Thanks in advance !

Hi Lorelli65 - welcome!

Everyone looks amazing and beautiful! I had my sleeve surgery July 18,2018. I'm down 101 lbs. and still losing. I hope to lose at least another 71 lbs. This has not been an easy journey,but I'm so glad I did it!

I am post-op day 4. My diet has been clear liquid only for first 4 days, then full-liquid only for the next 10 days! I am no where near pureed food yet. Drinking anything at first was unpleasant, but I found if I walked and sipped it felt better. i can walk and sip about a quarter of a liter in about 15 minutes. I have had to adjust my sip size too, the smaller the better. It seems to get a little better each day.
