Totally agree with all of you. One year out this month. 62 years old, passed my weight goal, lost 100 lbs. didn't want to tell anyone but hubby till after surgery. Feeling great. I too have trouble at night wanting to eat. I have to make a serious effort NOT to buy that stuff. Not anything Snacks unless it's celery, carrots fresh veggies. My only dessert is sugar free pop cycles 15 cal only. Best thing I ever did. I have started writing everything I put in my mouth down, that seems to help. I would love to hear how you all are doing since you have been on this journey longer then myself. Keep up the good work!




I'm 65, and scheduled for October 5.

I wondered if I was too old to have this done. I'm 66. But I went ahead with the surgery on 8/28/12. Lost 41 lbs. feeling great. My only challenge is getting in enough Protein and liquids because I get full so fast. I've always been a speed eater, so it's hard for me to slow down, too.

I think that headache thing is pretty common when doing the shakes. I am right behind you in 2 weeks.....

Hang in there. Try some broth in between....

I had headaches also but found if I kept up with my fluids I felt so much better...I'm over 4 months out and feel great!!! I had some problems with diarrhea but they found I had a Bactria in my gut and after some antibiotics...I'm finally doing okay. It's funny...being down almost 100lbs...bones are appearing in places I had forgotten that they were there...my jaw line...my hips...my shoulders. I still feel like myself..just better.:)

100 pounds is just an amazing amount of weight. Next month is my three-year anniversary. I've kept my weight stable the whole time. Not every day has been perfect, but i find ways to compensate for my humanity. i'm 64 now. I wish I could lose more than the 140 i've lost, but my body doesn't seem to want to lose it.

id say my biggest mistake was starting exercise so late in the process. but now i'm in Spin Class 4x a week, and I love that. I have amazing legs. 😎

anyone reading this, do t let your age hold you back. i've cured myself of life threatening diabetes and that includes all the other stuff too. and no more sleep apnea either.

my life is so different because of my weight loss and i am grateful every single day.

140 down!!' Wow....my plan is to lose 150 when I'm done. I'm not worried about how long it takes...I just want to see around 8 lbs a month come off. I have been blessed cuz I haven't had any stalls yet...well except a slow down when I caused it by eating too much cheese...I limit that now. I still can't eat most things made with flour...gives me tummy pain so I still am on mostly just Protein and fluids with an occasional bite of fresh fruit and veggies .

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
