Recommended Posts

I will be having surgery 2/21 (week from Tuesday) and I am 55. Would welcome a buddy as well!

3 more days Karen!!! I know you're excited!
It's not that bad. I took3 weeks off work though. I'm actually glad I did because I focused on establishing an eating program. I learned how to eat all over again;)

How are you doing now Connie? I hope it is going well. I also got sharp stabbing pain when I drank for the first few months. Gradually got better and is now gone completely. I am 65 had surgery at 64. Wish I had done it sooner but husband and Dr were against it. Finally took control of my life and am glad I did.


I am doing a lot better. 2 months out, lost 28lbs. Feeling good. I try to stay hydrated as much as I can.
How are you?

Hi, My name is Patty. I'm almost 53. Sleeved 12-28 and I had no issues at all. I woke up in recovery in shock that I felt no pain and I never did. I never used any pains pills. I hope the same for you. I weighed 287 and now weigh 270. It's amazing and wished I could have done this years ago.

Hi, I'm 50 from California, sleeved in December, down 57 lbs. I feel great, looking pretty good, and having fun shopping for clothes ! I mess up sometimes and my tiny tummy lets me know. It IS so worth it, one of the best things I've done for myself.

Hi I am 50 was sleeved this past Tuesday April 18th. I am having a hard time mentally today. Not that I am hungry just want to eat a chip. I am sick of liquids but know in the long run I am going to be so happy I did this.

Hi I'm 56 and just had my surgery 5 days ago. I'm having trouble getting in the Protein and my stomach rumbles all the time. I'm starving! Protein Shakes try to come back up. I've been looking for Protein Drinks and unflavored protein but can't find any. I've been to Wal Mart and costco. Can anyone tell me where I can get these drinks?

Birthday tomorrow - 62 - yikes!! Will be sleeved in October, no def date set.

Clear Protein - Isopure, but it's pricey and tart, someone said Unjury unflavored added to broth (?). Someone also mentioned a clear one at Walgreen's that is supposed to taste better than Isopure.

      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?
