Had sleeve last this past December at 66. Just getting back into running and strength training. I officiate football and lacrosse. Slowly moving back to both. I have no regrets, best decision I could have made for myself. Dropped diabetes meds day after surgery and down to one BP med (soon to be none). The golf will be a great source of strength and conditioning. Good luck on this journey!

It's March ....How's everybody doing? I'm feeling pretty good. Got out last week and started riding my bicycle again. It was great.

Arrrgh !!!! All the clothes I put because they "shrunk," have suddenly increased in size to the point they just hang there sizes too big.
Seriously not a complaint. 2 1/2 months out and I feel great. Off my diabetes meds. Down to one (soon to be none) blood pressure med. Getting back into running and biking. Hope everyone is feeling fantastic!

Had sleeve in December - Age 66 Wish I had done it sooner. No problems encountered so far.

Isopure Whey Protein Isolate comes in an unflavored variety. I've mixed with water, milk and kool aid type drinks.
Also protein water like Premier Protein clear or Protein2O are pretty good alternatives.

Congratulations !!! A true milestone. Keep it up.

Coffee seems blah now. I've started to drink Green Tea (lemon & Ginseng) again. Seems to taste better.

I ended up with a total of 6 incisions. The lower left was/is the one that still causes a little pain 2 weeks out. The bruising is a site to behold. Finally starting to fade. It does get better as those who have gone before us have said. Best wishes and Happy New Year / New You!

Had my sleeve on the 14th. Just about all of the pain is gone or minimal. Moving on to a liquid/pureed diet this week. Congratulations to all who have gone through the door. If you're getting close and having second thoughts, remember that we all had those thoughts. But you've worked hard to get here and final steps are just a few. Your future is on the other side of the door. Step through and begin your new life.

Doing pretty good so far. On day 5 post op. For some reason I couldn't get warm yesterday (no fever) . Went to be early with a weighted blanket. That finally warmed me up. I tried the warmed up premier protein shake yesterday (chocolate peanut butter). What a difference that made. Hope everyone is doing well.

It's official!? I am on for tomorrow the 14th. Been doing liquid diet since November 25th. I am so ready. I had prepped myself if it was cancelled. There was an omelet in my near future. Now it will be in the distant future but well worth the wait. Good luck and good health. Tomorrow starts a bright future!

Surgery cancelled due to full hospital. Not happy. They think sometime next year. I'm sure it will be after my insurance resets and I have to meet deductibles again. Good Luck and best wishes to all.

The anticipation is building for December 5th! I'm feeling good that I have made the best decision for myself and my future. These forums have have instilled a confidence that I am on the right track and not alone in trying to achieve a better and healthier life. I anticipate a few bumps in the road but intend to ride them out. Good luck to all!

Just informed my surgery was cancelled due to full hospital. Might be rescheduled in January after my insurance rolls over and I have to all the copays again. Not happy at this point. Never the less, I wish all of you the best and safe journeys.
