Getting VSG in August at the age of 54



Recommended Posts

I am 56 and was sleeved on 9/14. So far no complications, not much pain (after the gas pains went away), trying to keep walking and stay hydrated -- good luck to all of us!

I had my SG at the age of 52 and I am now 55. I lost from 245 to 225 before surgery. Then after surgery I lost down to 165. After that I gained up to 202 on snack foods etc. but went up gradually until a couple of months ago. The VA had a re education class called bariatric back on track class. I lost down to 191. The surgery went great for me. I broke my arm in 2014 at the head of my shoulder. A steel plate and 14 screws from surgery and It healed completely. I attrubute it to the Vitamins I am taking religiously not to mention all the Protein we have to eat. I can't eat any complex carbs and loose any weight without vigorous exercise. Metabolism must have been rock bottom. It is much better now.

My plan of attack has been 3 ounces of Protein and a watery fruit at every meal and I have lost on average of 2 pounds per week. 3 meals per day. I have also found eating 3 dates per day helps to keep me regular not to mention curbing that sweet tooth.

I am 52 and was sleeved this past August. I was not concerned with my age, but my health issues. I came through the surgery just fine though

      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! 😞
