Age is a number. I had my surgery in August 2016 at age 55. I'm 57 now. I've lost about 150 pounds. I am a nationally ranked fencer in my age group (24th among women 50-59 and 33rd for all women over 40), can deadlift 235 pounds and back squat 225.
What's old? I have more energy than either my 19 or 16 year old daughters. I'm in better shape. I regularly get checked out by people at the gym (especially from behind) who are then a bit surprised when I turn around and they realize I'm not 30. (Although I look pretty good for my age.)
Age is a number. Don't let it define you. the only regret I have is waiting until I was 55 to do this.

And never too late to be worthwhile, my song🎶 of life is different than many but it's pretty okay. I still can sing 🎤my melody at 73, it's pretty quiet if you're dead in a grave and I found out I don't want to be THERE yet. I woke up with arthritis. hurting but went and got my Carafate for ulcers, Ditropan for bladder spasms and Zofran to keep the nausea down, laid back down after a potty 🚽break, got 2 more hours until my TPN is done, I'll see if my leg pain gets better, if not, I'll pop a couple💊 Tylenol, save the Tramadol and Norco for something more serious. And start to sip my bottle🍶 of Propel, nobody mentioned I would be doing 2 oz☕ cups this far out, but it works out to 8oz per hour, and I'll make my 64 oz today,even if it is in small increments. Snowy snowy here, close to 5 inches, but I didn't plan on doing anything outside anyway. Weighed frolicking in the snow⛄ verses falling, breaking arms, legs, hips, better safe inside than sorrows in the ❄snowdrifts. My bones don't just bend and bruise, they go CRACK and then there is a long 😧healing ahead! No Thank You Very Much!

Respect my age people- I graduated without the help of Google, Siri and Cortana- and I did it My Way!

I don't think there is a "standard" list. I only had Clear Liquids for a couple days post of, nothing preop. Generally a bariatric clear diet would include sugar free beverages- usually non-carbonated and possibly Decaf, clear broths, and possibly sugar free gelatins. A clear diet is extremely low in calories and is usually used pre/post op as surgery prep or while early stage healing.
A full liquid diet would include a wider variety of options including Protein Drinks and smooth Soups.

Please be carefull with those coconut carton drinks. FB opened one up and it was a grosse thing inside cery big. Yeak. Open the whole carton first before drinking.

Well more than that, not that I'm a saint about anything, but IMHO we all need to try to make the next best choice from here on out. Doesn't mean we will win, cuz I can guarantee we won't win 100% of the time. But each time we DO win the test, we get stronger and are one step closer to redefining a lifetime of bad habits that got us a lifetime invitation to the Obesity Ball. You know?
And you know, there are a host of reasons why alcohol isn't a great choice, but 5 weeks out it's even worse:
1. Wine = highly acidic and could increase acid and possibly cause a small ulcer at the operation suture line. Big time Billy-badass probs then.
2. Empty calories that disrupts fat burning mode in some way I can't fully explain to you.
3. Your tummy is still pretty raw in there. God! Imagine having to confess why you're hemorraging! Cuz alcohol thinned your blood too much now your bleeding at your incision sight.
4. Then there's the whole transfer addiction thing...and I'm not qualified to talk about that...
But hell...I'm just a shmoe on the internet and am not qualified to talk about any of this stuff! Lol!

Thank You,My Palomabella.
oLd Thought for you this evening
MIND OVER MATTER
NO MIND
NO MATTER
Thanks for your friendship, I'll be here for you ALL THE WAY!

Thank you all for your support I do appreciate it. I will definitely try some of these ideas and speak to my surgeon. I was having a low moment when I wrote this. it was exciting because I quickly lost 9 pounds but gained some back. It is hard. Enjoying LIfe No Negative Nellies welcome here. I am trying to get encouragement and support and I am less than a week from surgery. take your attitude elsewhere. it is not ok.

To much of certain vitamins aren't good for you and can cause problems. For example to much Calcium can cause kidney stones or gall stones. I'd stick to whatever was recommended that you take.

It is now less than 4 days, I believe the "Time Until. app. reads 3 days 20 hours.
May God grant me his sustaining spirit
His perfect peace that surpasses all Earthly understanding
Joy in the days that remain
A beacon that will encourage others
And a witness that God pours out His spirit onto all generations but also His abiding love.
This is my Saturday Morning Prayer

Update to my prayer request - I had a follow up appointment with the oral surgeon. I'm healing nicely and have a letter of clearance for my VSG. Thank you for your prayers and praise the Lord! All testing is done. Doctors are paid. All I have left now is flying down to TX, finishing my pre-op diet, paying the hospital, and getting my check in time.

Wow. U have gone through a lot... Sorry to hear that. But that past n your surgery was a success. Thank god. Congrats for your new life. This is the kind of encouragement i need. This is the good endings i like to hear at our age. My problem is that I think. That im reading too many posts in this forum and getting scared. Too many posts on hair baldness n loose skin. I feel ugly already imagine me with extra skin and not being able to remove it.

hair LOSS
OK FOR A GOOD HAIRLOSS REMEDY GUYS. TAKE THE ALBUTEROL LIQ VIAL. THEN TAKE 5 VIALS PER BOTTLE OF Shampoo. N POUR IN.... THEN EVERY 2 DAYS OPEN A VIAL N MASSAGE IN SCALP. HAIR WILL START POINTING OUT IN 1 MONTH. I JUST STARTED MY PROCEDURE ALSO N MY SURGERY IS IN JAN. GOOD LUCK GUYS

I have long hair as you might have seen in my previously posted pics. I love it and don't want to cut it but the Hair loss is so annoying!
Filling my brush and everytime I run my fingers through I come out with more strands

Hi everyone! I have Horizon NJ Health Medicaid, they required me to come to their office once a month for 3 months to participate in a medically supervised weight loss program.....i only have 2 things left to do. The sleep study and the endoscopy. My current weight is 217 ,bmi 38.5 . I have high cholesterol and excessive day time sleepiness. Does anyone know if I will qualify? I'm so anxious to know, I really so hope I qualify I have been struggling with my weight my whole life

God bless you. thanks for your post.
You're right, Jesus said He was persecuted and even hated, and He said the same thing would happen to us as well.
You're also right about prayer, Jesus said to pray for them that persecute you.
Many claim to be atheists no doubt many are, no matter what they confessed to be they will stand before Almighty God someday in judgment, then they'll no longer be an atheist but it'll be too late then.
May God bless!
The Preacher

I have been praying about this, and really feel led to do it.
I have been criticized for sharing my faith in Jesus Christ on this website, I truly do respect others feelings because it certainly is their right to believe or not to believe, even God does not force one to believe in Him, it must be of one's own free will.
I feel deeply that there are some on here that would love to be prayed for, before surgery, during surgery and after surgery, so here's what I am willing to do, if I can be of some comfort to anyone, please email me at brotherron98@gmail.com
I assure you that I do have a personal and close relationship with the Lord, he does and always has answered my prayers, and I'm sure as long as I walk in his ways, he will continue to answer them, so please if I can help you in any way, email me.
Sincerely, The Preacher.

I’m 48. I got sleeved a week and a half ago on 8/13. I have lost 14 lbs. so far so good.
