63 yrs here--64 next Valentines' Day.

I tried on my wedding dress a few weeks ago---the dress I wore 43yrs ago---and it just hung on me. I am now wearing a smaller dress size than I did when I was in the seventh grade.

Is WLS during my "golden years" all sunshine and rainbows? Hell no!

Are the struggles insurmountable? Nope

It's all about "balance" and your expectations of a fuller, happier and healthier life.

51 here and had RNY on September 19th. I am having issues with finding a Protein shake I can drink. Everything seems too sweet now and I am struggling to get them down. I find a brand that seems okay and then a few days later I lose my taste for them. But, I will keep searching and I know it will work out.

52 here - sleeved on 9/26 - came home 9/27 - been doing good - other than being sick and tired of liquids - I want to chew.

Lost a good amount preparing for surgery - not seeing much weight change since surgery - not concerned yet - Going back to work Monday (desk job) will be challenging to keep fluids going

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
