Hi ladies, I'm 53 and scheduled for a sleeve on December 4th.

Hello, I'm 54 and was sleeved on 12/17/14. I'm down from 336 to 297! How 'bout them apples? I can already tell that there's a difference. Clothes are starting to feel loose that once were just plain tight. Energy is slowly increasing. My water and protein intake is increasing also! I like what I'm seeing and how I'm feeling. I don't really crave anything per sé, nor do I have insatiable hunger. I put myself on a schedule/routine. I'm making this smart phone earn its darn keep! I would most definitely do this again, but I wish I'd done it years ago! Oh well, moving and looking forward to spending lots more time with my new self. I'm off all my diabetic meds and 4 of my 6 anti hypertensive medications! Loving this! Glad to be a sleeve buddy for anyone else on this fantastic journey!
