I'm 60. Anyone else over 50 doing RNY?

I'm noticing more young women getting surgery. I'm wondering if anyone else had it in 50 or 60s and how you did?

I have a question! Some Surgeons keep you a liquid diet for 3 weeks and and say pureed or soft at 21 days, what is phase in order?

Liquid, puree, soft foods, then regular, but I have found it difficult eating "regular" foods. I revert back to eating a lot of soft foods.... Refried beans, yogurt, etc. I have the best success with those too.

I am 51 and had my RNY last week. It’s not easy but I still believe this is the best option for me. It’s the tool I need to help me reach my goals. Best of luck to everyone!

Good luck to you. I'm 51 and had mine done on 11/7. The toughest part that I have found so far is making sure not to overeat. Knowing where your limit is. So far I have lost 34 lbs...

53 here and had my RNY on December 14th. Feeling fine (except for 2 more weeks of drinking my meals).

And all the congregation says--- AMEN! Sorry long evangelical background, mine Church of Christ, Methodist, maried into Nazarene and Church of Christ in Christian Union, must have been 12 before I found out not everyone goes to Camp Meetings and Revivals! So mine is L0LBPTL. Laugh out loud but Praise the Lord!
Nothing wrong with that. Lol! I was raised Baptist, attented Pentecostal, and end up going to Non Denominational. All believe in Christ our Lord. The most important connection. Have attendend many, many revivals and camp meetings. Lol! Believing in Christ for the support to follow the directions to make this a fabulous life changing year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Clear liquids, full liquids, purees, soft foods, normal foods one at a time to make sure your new pouch will tolerate them. Best wishes for your success! Merry Christmas

I had at 55. Lost 80 in first year. Now at 14 months and starting to gain. Want a tip...don’t rush to add back in alcohol. It only increases your desire to eat carbs.
I’m 51 and had rny 6 months ago. Feeling good, lost 125 lbs total,
Well you're just the bees ?knees
125 pounds is a might fine amount, one we all yearn to emulate!
I’m 58 and I had Gastric sleeve August 31 and I’ve lost 64 lbs. I feel great!!!

Congratulations! That is just awesome. I am looking forward to losing this weight. Had gastric bypass on December 10th. I am starting to see and feel some changes.
