It isn't an easy road but if you open up about your struggles, you will find a receptive audience here.

Hey I am even older than you, I'm 72, and also going through this weight loss journey. You can and will handle changes, we have a commitment some of the young dudes and dudettes don't. We are still of the generations that believe once,you give your word you follow through with what you said. You'll find a lot of support here at,Bariatric Pal. All of us are either going through all these stages. or have been through them and give advice freely. As an example a few months back,I was having trouble,with a problem, shared It on here and another Bari-friend had just the answer I needed and i felt so much better for the help. I have,made some good friends here and I hope you will too?

You're going to be great! Good luck! Remember that you're not alone!

Definitely let us know your concerns, worries, and stressors. We're going through the same things as you!

You’ve got this! An amazing journey you’re about to start- I’m also 48, and things were just fine! [emoji12]
