Where are the 50s ???



Recommended Posts

Hi I am 57 and had the sleeve December 5. I have lost 30 lbs and been stalled and frustrated. Also had a severe case of vertigo last Thursday which might be caused by dehydration. Ever heard of this?

Yes. I got dizzy in the first few months post op. I was careful to get enough fluids so it wasn't that. I think its pretty common post op. Do be careful to get the fluids in. If you are taking blood pressure meds, they should be evaluated again.

Yes be sure you get your fluids in and stick with the program. Its easy to get frustrated so don't get side tracked on your diet, for you its only been December , you are probably losing girth , the weight will come off. I heard that if you shake your head and tilt it to the side it breaks up the salt build up in cochlea which may cause vertigo , I'm not sure on this but i read it somewhere. So I would bring this up to your Doctor. Relax weight will come off

Is 50 the new 150?

I'm not sure.. I thought it was for people in there 50's even if I feel like I'm in my twenties after losing 224lbs

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
