Starting out at age 45? How common?



Recommended Posts

Had the sleeve at 51 ( mentally not that old, but was physically getting older quicker), turned 52, 2 months later & moving so much easier, feeling younger???? if you are ready to commit to the changes, then it's the right time, JUST DO IT! There's actually a thread on here that you are too young for!! http://track.bariatricpal.com/track/click/14368495/www.bariatricpal.com?p=eyJzIjoiME95a1FjLW1wQ0RmUWV4UUJTS2xUeG9IendJIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjoxNDM2ODQ5NSxcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwOlxcXC9cXFwvd3d3LmJhcmlhdHJpY3BhbC5jb21cXFwvdG9waWNcXFwvMzE4MjYwLW5ldy10by1maWZ0aWVzLWdyb3VwXFxcL1wiLFwiaWRcIjpcIjQ2MWFmYzg0OWE1MDRmYWZhNDczNWUyZDAyZDU5N2IzXCIsXCJ1cmxfaWRzXCI6W1wiYWIzOTVhZDI2N2FlNTViN2ExOTEzMTNiZjY2ZWQ1ODBlOGU3YWFhMlwiXX0ifQ

Yesterday I took my daughter and her friend ( both 21 ) out to the nail salon so we could all get pedicure s. My daughter whispers " Mom, thats going to be you when you're older !! She dresses like you ! " The lady in question walking by us was a slim, well dressed, VERY stylish, and yes mid 70 's or older !!! No old lady clothes for her ! No "I give up because Im older !" No masculine haircut and sloppy polyester outfits for her, She was rockin' it in a very appropriate way. I can only HOPE I can look as good as she dies when Im her age ! So dont let YOUR age hold you back from being FABULOUS !!!! That .is. all. Good luck !!!

I'm 67 and just getting starting in this process! I'm sure I will look older and wrinkly but I'll feel better! And I have every intention of being the hottest wrinkled old lady out there!

You and me both. I had RNY in Nov. 2014 and I'm 62. I'm down 75 pounds and feel better than I have in almost 20 years. I plan to rock all the fantastic clothes that I've been deprived of wearing for way too many years. Chico's here I come!!!

I'd just turned 47 when I had mine done. May my 50's be healthier and sexier than my 40's!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
