50 and Up Sleevers



Recommended Posts

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.

@TeeMillz

welcome newbie

i had my sleeve one month before i turned 58 years OLD

I will Be 65 years YOUNG in January!!

it wasn't harder for ME to accomplish my weight loss

maybe a little slower - that is just me

never compare your successes to others, whether

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

good luck Friday

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 😉

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. 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 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?

      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
