RNY at 50 y/o surgery date 4/14/26. Here we go!



Recommended Posts

So I'm 50 y/o starting my journey to a thinner me! My surgery date is 4/14 and I'll be starting my 2 week liquid Protein diet tomorrow. I'm nervous but excited that it's finally here and I can see the light of a healthier, more active me around the corner. Anyone else starting this over 50? My husband is starting as well two weeks after me.

I had RNY gastric bypass surgery 34 months ago. I am 67 years old. Since you are about to go into surgery soon, I recommend 2 things.

1. Walk every day for about 30 minutes. It will dramatically improve your recovery process.

2. Get off the caffeine now. When I went cold turkey on my 6 diet coke a day habit, I suffered with a week of severe headaches and body aches. It is important to not compound the effects of caffeine withdrawal and the effects of surgery.

I'll be over 49.5 when I have my surgery in July. I have been looking at it as a totally new life for me at 50. Good luck on your liquid diet and surgery. Hope to hear how it goes.

Chiming in late, but I'm going to be 51 on Thursday, and will be having my surgery soon too! I have looked over on the 50 and over page, but not a lot of people post over there... maybe we need to bring it back to life with new blood :)

I'm so excited about my new chance to be slim, but a little bummed about the likelihood of all the excess skin. Someone needs to invent a magical skin shrinking cream for us! LOL

Good Luck! See you on the other side for sure!

I'm having revision from band to bypass at age 51. Banded at age 44. Never thought i would be overweight again but it all crept back on in the last 3 years????

Scared about the bypass but it has to be permanent this time to keep it off. Good luck!

Hello all- I'm 58 yrs young my surgery date is May 4th my birthday is 8th. I'm so excited, nervous and scared. I currently weight 32o, my highest was 365 when I was referred to my bariatric doc. He wants my goal weight to be 188 lbs I'm now 5'4" was once 5'7", I'm going to work towards 130 lbs at least, but right now my goal is 5 lbs increments. I'm currently working out twice a week, I've cut way back on the carbs, but I've started eating my favorite meals to get the food funerals out of the way. Glad to be part of this site!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
