I'm 48 and worried that will affect my progress

I'm 48 as well and don't think that'll impact anything other than maybe my skin won't bounce back like a 20 year olds. There's alot of people older who are extremely successful - in fact - I bet it helps to be older in some aspects.

I hope so. Skin will definitely be different than the youngsters. I guess my worry is our metabolism compared to a younger persons metabolism.

@@lizardqueen I am 50 and I was sleeved a month ago. I've lost 24 lbs so far. Things have been going great for me. Do I wish I had done it sooner? Sure, but not because I think it would have been easier to lose then, but more because I could have enjoyed more time being thin and really living my life!

Great video! Very inspiring. I need to see these as although I'm pretty heavy (about what you were and your height - but NOT your slender legs ever I'm sure!) - I am still scared of the surgery. I struggle with the humiliation. I know it's better for me to get my weight in control, but I still need to know more about life after surgery I guess. Good for you - you look amazing :-)

So I thought I would update this thread. It's crazy that I'm wearing the same dress. I thought I looked great in the 1st photo. But this journey continues to amaze me! 28lbs less than when I first posted this.

Total loss 94lbs at 10 1/2 months hoping to reach 100lbs by 3/16/17 my 1 year!

How tall are you? You look amazing. I get my sleeve in a day and a half and I'm about 20 pounds down from your start weight, but also shorter. My basic figure looks exactly like yours in your before picture.

Hoping to lose about 90 pounds total, and look like you do in your latest pic! I also have a busty/curvy shape and I don't want to lose that!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
