Where are the 50's??? -- all I see is a topic about wrinkles! How has the surgery changed your life?

Welcome! And best of luck with your pre-surgery diet and upcoming surgery. It figures your husband has lost more weight than you, doesn't it? My husband and I did WW together a few years ago. He lost 40 lbs and I only lost 7 lbs! Aaaaaarrrrggghhhh!!!! LOL! Now I'm getting close to his weight (I'm 6'1", an inch taller than he is ) and he has been eating everything I leave behind. I am looking forward to the day I weigh less than he does!

I realized this morning that I weigh less than my husband for the first time in 27 years. He's 6'2" and I'm 5'4"! It feels really good, too

I've been stuck at 97 lbs for three weeks now. Not sure what I can do to make it to 100lbs since I've been very disciplined since I had surgery.

Hello 50's Sleevers! I was sleeved LAST year 10/25/12. Wt loss slower than i'd hoped but i'll take it. Sometimes I see new pic or when wearing new outfit, and wonder WHO is this person?!?! Never been this small. Almost no wt loss for over 4 months now. So frustrating! But, Need to get back on track and drink water, etc. Hair still falls out from time to time.

No regrets! Hope to get in the 190's eventually.

F/51 5'10

Yaay!!!!!!! Keep us posted!!

I was sleeved sept 10 this year. I'm really getting out and about again, walking, and just feel good. Starting weight 188 today 168 not much but it's okay I know what I need to do to lose better, walk way more and bring my bike back to my room. I've got 35 lbs to go I'm 5'3".

Are you talking kilos or lbs.? Either way you are doing great!

Next week I am going on my very first cruise I am really excited. I wish I were already sleeved and well on my way to my goal weight. I would love to look good but that didn't happen so I will go on my cruise enjoy my family and vacation and the food. When I get back I will prepare for my surgery which is scheduled for the 25th of November. This is a very exciting time in my life.

I am getting ready to go on a cruise and I was sleeved 5/15. But this definately is not my first one

I am just gonna eat meat and take a couple protein bars with me (just in case) and a bag of Jerky

I will be having one bite of the deserts at night.

And I am taking my workout clothes, gonna do the walk or the treadmill.

And maybe try a little alcohol.

Have fun it is your vacation

This must be cruise time! I'm leaving nov 9! Been sleeved 3 1/1 years and below goal so happy happy happy!!!!

Enjoy all!!

Hello everyone, I am getting sleeved 3/14. I was wondering if my energy level will come back. I am 51 5'6 and weigh 254. I am tired all the time. Anyone?

Hello everyone' date=' I am getting sleeved 3/14. I was wondering if my energy level will come back. I am 51 5'6 and weigh 254. I am tired all the time. Anyone?[/quote']our stats were almost identical. It took a good six months till I felt way stronger than pre op. I have a ton more stamina now, but I don't think I'll ever have the stamina I had in my 20s and 30s again. I was thin and fit and could go like a mad woman.

I was pretty close. 5'7" 250 but I was 56. As with Lynda, it was several months til I had stamina again. And can now, three years out and at goal, do a LOT more. Bit that said, I definitely don't have what I had earlier either. Even as an overweight person I was Go go go go and do do do. Remodeled houses, tiles floors, hung lights, fans, worked non stop in church work. I seriously think I have actually worn myself out! Ha!

BUT I'm in great health, 103 lbs lighter and can do anything, within reason I want to when I want to!
