Any other women my age or older on this journey? I'm turning 60 in September. Getting sleeve next week after nearly 6 decades of struggling with weight. Why now (finally)? Trying to keep from crossing the line from "borderline diabetic, borderline this, borderline that" to actually becoming diabetic, etc. Highest weight prior to starting my journey: 308; current weight 286; surgeon says my goal is 170, but I'd be pleased at 200. I'm 5' 10".

On my one-week pre-op fast. Fortunately, my fast includes 7 protein supplements/day and clear liquids. So, for me that's a shake or soup or bar every two hours. It was tough yesterday (day 1), but feeling better today.

Happy Mothers Day ?tomorrow to all my 60+ bari-pals!??

And to you, as well!

Well, I am nobody's mother unless you count my miniature schnauzer Bella (who definitely feels she should be counted) but hope all the moms on here had a great day and were celebrated appropriately,

Spent the day shopping with my BFF from Austin....we have known each other almost 40 years and still always have the most hysterical fun together. We both lost our moms in 2000 at the young ages of 65 and 66 and we gave them a water toast when we got back to my house. I was so excited to walk through 3 big stores with no back pain and no shortness of breath. It has been a long time since I was able to do that.

Hope everyone has a great week.....I have my 2 week follow up on Thursday.
