Hi everyone

I'm 50 ( as of 5 days ago) and had rny on 7/23/13. I'm 54 pounds down since the start of my journey. I'm feeling good overall although ankle and knee pain has not been good and keeps me from walking a lot. You ate right Darcylyn this would be very hard to go through alone.

I am 56. Had mine in May @55' turned 56 in August. Have lost 80 lbs so far. And am loving life. As far as weight loss is concerned. After you have surgery, please make sure that you keep up with you supplements. I know 3 people that have had heart attacks and one of them actually died because they were so anemic and very little iron Keep on your doctor. Would I do it again? In a minute.

Hi, I'm 55, I'm pro-op and waiting on insurance approval. I have a tentative date of January 16th. I should hear something today. Any other 50'ers having surgery in January?

I turned 50 last month...had Surgery in April. It's a turtle pace for sure, but feeling so much better.

I will be 50 in July had my RNY in 2004... best decision I ever made.... still at goal... life is freaking great...

Hi Froggie, I'm excited for you and I'm 55 btw.

Hello I'm 54. Had my surgery 3/1/2010. I'm 4 years out. Loving life, traveling around the US in our beautiful RV with my awesome husband. Loving my children (3 daughter,all living in their OWN homes, with their own families). Life is GREAT (today anyway)..lol

btw..I reside in Northern Minnesota, and my Bday is Oct. 11th.

I have one hubby (lol) and 3 daughters, 2 of them had RNY surgery, it went like this:

#1 daughter-surgery, RNY, Jan. 2010

#3 daughter-surgery, RNY, Feb. 2010

Mom- Surgery, RNY, Mar. 2010

Amazing! so we're going threw all of this together. AND oh man, are there three different ways of doing things...lolol...but where we come together is 'recipes'..we love to compare different ways to cook, bake, broil & boil things.

51 and waiting for surgery date. Need to get this done.....want to start living not just exist.

Hello. I see there are not any current threads. I am 55 and scheduled to have my surgery June 10th. I will start my two week liquids on May 21st. Does anyone know if you can have protein smoothies or does it need to be all liquid?
