I just turned 50 in May and I'm being sleeved this Friday December 7, 2018 and I'm wondering if the weight loss is slower or harder after the sleeve for the 50 and up crew....

Could be slower,could be sustained longer, but at 50+.60+70+ we are no longer required to be sprinters, besides in bifocals it's hard to run anyway. I plan to be a successful ? turtle one foot in front,of the other?easing down the path to Good Health.

And I am going to do it, wave as I amble by, cause you will see me THERE???

@TeeMillz

never compare your successes to others, whether

they be a youngun, or an old fart like us??

LMBO good advice thank you Kathy

Hi...I'm 52 and I may be losing a little slower than someone that's younger and I stall often BUT I am steady with my weight loss and couldn't be happier and pleased.

I keep in the back of my mind what one of the posters @Matt Z stated and shared in one of his earlier post, it's the big picture. That post really left a good impression on my mind. I am so okay with my rate of weight loss because in 12-18 months I am CERTAIN that I will be at goal and living my best life. ?

You will be just fine as long as you stick to your plan and try to move as much as you can ?

Wowza!

I will be 63 the day of my surgery. I plan to dive right in and exercise (slowly at first). I can't wait.

I'm in the 50+ club. Sleeved in September 2018 I try not compare myself to the young ones. My metabolism has been dead for years. So yes it may be slower but I think if it is then maybe I will not have to deal to badly with the loose skin to much. LOL

Thanks Wanda!

Thanks. That's an awesome perspective. We can't see the first for the trees. Step back and see the forest!

I can't seem to see the photo your speaking of, although, I have to agree that the yellow feathers, red Gummy glasses and pink bow definitely results in a youthful appearance![emoji12]

I'm getting my sleeve December 26. I'm 56 years old and right now feel as if I'm 86. [emoji21]
