I'm 56. Surgery 3 days ago. No problems. I'm in the sipping and walking phase. Still working on arranging the pills and getting the liquids in. I'm following the program and planning for success. Good luck!

Sounds like you are doing awesome, 23lbs!!!!

I went through a couple weeks feeling like I was hungry (I wasn't hungry, just had cravings) just stick to the Protein....even if you feel the need to snack.

Don't stress if getting pills down doesn't work out as well as you planned....give it time. Also, Water consumption....that's tough at first, be patient and you eventually get in more and more.

I'm 57 and has the sleeve on 9/13. The first day was hard from the gas but walk, walk, walk. I was in the hospital overnight. By day 3 I was off pain meds. Its important to balance moving with resting, when you get home. Prepare by getting some Protein Shakes in the house, I got a Brita Water filter and sugar free ice pops. I use vitamin patches instead of pillows. A heating pad on my stomach helped if you have one and a pillow for the car. Be well.

Got my sleeve 3.5 mths ago just before turning 59. I had a great recovery with minimal pain and no nausea. I was a stickler for following doctors plan so as to not risk any complications. I have lost 53 lbs, feel great and focusing on goals. We can be successful at any age!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
