Read Queen of Crop today after downloading the Kindle version. Very informative and encouraging. I'll be 59 four months post-op. Surgery date is 11/20. We got this!!

@sotiredofdiets.....Great name! Good for you for making this decision....and this really and truly is a different way to lose weight, it is not a diet; it is the best shot most of us have. Keep us posted and you will find you will get a lot of support and great information here.

I am 59 and have surgery December 30th. I was so scared that I was getting up there in age and maybe this wasn't a good idea. I have been heavy my entire life and was that sad little 5th grader when the nurse told my weight out loud. So glad I found this 50's Forum, and will be moving up to the sixties in June. I am very excited to do this for myself.

I can't really remember doing too much for myself my whole life - mommy, wife, teacher, ex-wife, (*wink*) and my greatest self ever a meemaw.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
