I am 51 and was sleeved two years ago. I am well below my goal and have just scheduled round two of my plastics. I slept with a cpap machine for 13 long years and stopped using it about six months after surgery. I had previously had three knee surgeries and could barely walk to the mailbox. I now walk/run 5ks and usually walk 5 miles a day.

Welcome!

I am only 48, but have had 5 back surgeries. That's how I gained this weight. But this time around I'm going to work out to strengthen my whole body. Where as before I just gave into this. Really excited. Already walking 3x around my block. Drinking lots of Water where as before no exercises and no water. I am 219 lbs and 5'3". Always was 120 before and 3 inches taller before

Depends what you mean by older. I am 60 years old and had my bypass surgery last September. It went really well and I recovered quickly. My problem is how to continue to lose weight as I seem to have hit a plateau. I am still overwieght though nowhere near what I was before.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
