Never too late?

Good Morning everyone! I was just wondering if there is anyone out there that is over 50 that has or is in the process of being sleeved? I see all the 20 & 30 year olds on here and I never though of my self as too old but the thought is crossing my mind. I believe it is never too late for anything but ....

Theres a bunch of us over 50 and over 60! I was sleeved less than two weeks ago on my 60 birthday! Boy do i have a fabulous summer planned! I had a very easy time in surgery and now recovery! I have been significantly overweight since childhood so have no idea what i will look like as a normal weight person. I am expecting a face full of wrinkles but i dont care! Give me a body that can get in a kayak or hike without feeling like death is emminent and i will be a happy camper!

Moregoodtimes, Belated Happy Birthday! What a great gift to yourself!!! Keep me updated on your progress. I hope to meet lots of new and amazing people on this journey!!

I just turned 53 when I had my surgery in April 12. I am down 74lb and I have just had a month stall. It is coming off slow but sure and that is fine by me. My goal is 100lb loss and I reckon it is going to take another 6 months.

Hi Cathy! Wow...74 lbs is amazing - Congratulations!

Would you mind sharing what your daily menu is like? Calories, carbs, types of food, Protein, etc? I'm 2 months out and have only lost 25 lbs and would love any advice!
