I think in general being in our 40s its harder to lose weight. I know diets only worked so long for me. I'm hoping this will work for me..I've done my work with my therapist for emotional eating and nutritionist and will keep with them after the surgery. I guess after 48 years of dieting and also having the lapband and it all failing...it's sort of natural to worry if this will work as well. My surgeon said she's never seen it not work if the patient follows the program and recommendations of the nutritionist so I'll be doing that!

I feel like I'm losing slowly compared to everyone else but the Dr. Says I'm doing fine....slow yet steady. He compared it yo the tortoise and the hare! He said I'll have less loose skin...I'm 10 weeks out and down about 47 lbs. My goal us to lose 12 lbs a month to make it to -144 lbs in a year. So I'm ahead of schedule is how I look at it :).

By the way ladies nice to meet some other 40 somethings. I am 43

Actually it will probably fly by! My last week I was so full of anxiety preparing everything at home for down time that it flew by! Then I was only in the hospital one day and it seems that was the only down time I had. Was up and out walking the day after I got home....

I will continue to work mon thru wed- but it's at work that I expect it to drag. I have an hour commute and work 10 hour days. Those days are long enough and i have too many opportuniries to dwell on things and when my mind is focused on things like the surgery it can really drag. When I get home the time goes fast I still have 4 kids at home (ages 10 - 20). My 20 year old is getting married June 22 and my ten year old turns 11 June 9. Could I have chosen a more hectic time to do this?

You're down to the final days! I was suppose to have mine 6/6 but, my insurance rejected for a 2nd time. Now I have to wait until 7/11 from what I heard Friday. I'll know for sure Monday.

Hope your week goes by fast and you start your new journey :)

That certainly stinks! Insurance companies are so frustrating. I hope that this all gets worked out and next month we will be cheering you on as you head into surgery!

      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?
