Hi all, I'm 41 (will be 42 in May, and hoping to be at my 1st goal by then to). I am scheduled for 12/19 and hope for a quick and easy recovery. My daughter is having her 1st child in April and I'm hoping to be under 200 at that point. Good luck to all of you in your journey's.

Hi Y'all!

Just checking in! Boy how things have changed since starting this post back in July of 2010 (1 month prior to sleeve). All my weight loss dreams have come true and THEN some

:)

I am at 27 months post sleeve surgery, and 18 months at goal (maintenance)...My last weigh in, last week I was 147.1...lowest weight 144, goal 150.

I will be 45 years old this month and I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thankful to God for my sleevie! I can't believe I'm still wearing the same clothes since May 2011 (when I hit goal)...Sleevie is one of the best gifts ever!

Best wishes and much love to all my fabulous 40's family! WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Dawn. Congrats on your surgery date! Good luck! Please let me know how it all went.

Appreciate the well wishes Tionna. Will definitely be sharing my experience. With time to think over this weekend, I am considering asking my nurse at my clinic tomorrow (11/12/2012) if there is a possibility of doing the surgery at the end of this month (November)... I am so hyped up, the surgery is all I can think about since I got my insurance approval -- I just want to get this next phase of the journey on an poppin!!

42 here.

Getting sleeved on January 8. Was more or less normal in college at 21 (235ish). Was up to 362 at age 30. Began a decade of losing, gaining, losing, gaining. 50-60 lbs. each time. Finally decided in December 2011, 'ENOUGH.'

Am very nervous about what's ahead, but ready and looking at it with a clear head.

Goal is to get back down into my ratty college-era t-shirt from 1992. :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
