I stopped coming to this forum because I am losing soooo much slower than people on here. I am 50 and post menopausal, so I knew it would be slow and I am not hard core dieting. I eat what I want, just a lot less of it! Had several weeks if being really sick and have been inactive too, but today did some before and after pics... I has surgery 2 1/2 months ago.

You look great! I am in the 50's (hahaha at least for a few more months anyway) and weight does come off slower. But that's OK - this is a journey we'll be for for the rest of our lives......and since I plan to be here for a L O N G time, especially now that I am getting so healthy, I've got time.

My weight loss is going very slowly now and my medical team & personal trainer all say that it is a good way to lose. I think it's helping me to work on developing more patience with myself.

Just keep to your medical team's plan and it will come off.

Good luck, keep us all posted - we're here to support you.

You look fantastic! Slow and steady wins the race!

I am 9 weeks out and am 52. I knew it would be slower for me because I have always been a slow loser and at our age, our bodies don't seem to want to give it up! I am not doing low carb, just healthy rounded meals with of course Protein first. I just hit my second major goal of another 10% of my body weight. It's going slow but it's going!

Congrats to you! You inspire me!

And yes, 50's are great! I My favorite decade so far!

I am 49, had a complete hysterectomy at 28, so I have been post menopause since then. I too am a slow loser compared to others 27 since 3/6. But I am finally embracing the fact that I am not everybody else, I can only be me and do the best I can. Plus at our age we need less chance at all that loose skin LOL. You look great though!

I m 49 soon and sleeve 2/27 I've lost 43 pounds but I'm changing sizes and loosing inches. I went from 22/24 down to 12/14 top and 16 pants.

I'm slower but I'm looking at lasting results.

Funny story at work I had to hold up my extra large pant. That great . But got remember to wear my sexy underwear for when they fall. Lol

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
