July Gastric Bypass?

Yes I'm ready, I'm eager to move forward with my life. I'm 51 yrs old and the last 8 years have been rough causing me to gain 100 lbs. I want the last half of my life to be different. I want to be healthy, I want to be active, I want to be mobile.

You?

I'm sorry for whatever you've been struggling with. 8 years is a long time! Honestly, without a lot of stress I've gained about that much in a year (after losing as much just as quickly). I'm 55 and wish I'd done this a long time ago. So many wasted moments just because I wasn't able to do something physically. I totally understand about wanting to be active. I've become a hermit this past year. My mom died in March, and I've just put on more weight. We need to make this work, and get out there and live. :769_heart:

And I will be cheering you both along, I have faced people saying I was silly, foolish, too old, should be satisfied the way I am, hope I will succeed, for this is my time, my chance, and your chances too for a brighter healthier future. Let's do it and prove the nay-sayers wrong, I'm up for it, how about you?😛👍😛

Hey, congrats on July 30th. I’m next Wednesday July 25. I’m 8 days into the two week pre-op diet and I’m 8 lbs down. But I currently have incredible Head hunger and boredom hunger. Smelling my husband cook at night is like torture.

Idk ...I'm happy but I didn't have the same experience as most...I'm here in Columbia and my Dr did not require a liquid diet. But he said I should only have a light dinner, like Soup nothing heavy.

@lillybilly, hooray --you are back, been missing you, wondered what happened? I haven't had my surgery but do have,as of yesterday, a confirmed date of September 5th. So a little while longer to wait for mine, but no less desired. I will be praying, sending good wishes and anxiously waiting to hear everything went well. Please post and let us know!😝🌴😝

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
