Scheduled for my sleeve next week. Overall I'm healthy and mobile. I'm busy but not that active anymore. I can walk, do a short aerobic video,, but no zumba or the like. I like the bike, but not do a spin class. I'm recently purchased Tai Chi (Thanks to Regis' sales talk).

So due to this slow paced exercise I hope to be motivated to do, does age affect those of us in our 60s?

I've been on/off every diet under the sun and typically have no trouble losing quickly when I stick with it, its maintaining of course I can't manage.

Its been a while now, I hope I have the weight loss rate many have here. I know, I know, don't preach, I can't compare myself to others. But I'm looking to hear for those late 50s+ is it really a very slow pace for us to see the pounds come off?

Is there anything that we have to do to have a successful surgery.

@@Aggiemae - you are exactly right you will benefit from what you put into your surgery (tool).

I seem to be losing steadily. I know its only been 11 days and things can slow down. At the intro class they gave a basic formula and so I was expecting to loose 80 pounds in a year. Just about what a want and under 200 lbs. I watched lots of tubes and read lots of blogs (It seems that people who are eating grill cheese sandwiches a week after surgery like to make videos!) "Average" includes everyone....So was left with the impression that what I will get out of this is exactly what I put in.

Keep up the good work bcos you can do it! We all can...we just have to get down to business!

Follow your rules! I'm 66, 19 months out and 120 down. 40 left.
