Feeling too old for this procedure. Anybody out there 50+? Halla back.

Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I’m 52 and was sleeved in October. My only regret is I didn’t do it sooner!! Don’t listen to the naysayers!

I’m 51 and I know I can do this. I think a 70 year old can be successful if they really stick to the plan

I'm 53 and I just had gastric sleeve surgery a month ago. It's never too late to get healthy.

And never too late to be worthwhile, my song🎶 of life is different than many but it's pretty okay. I still can sing 🎤my melody at 73, it's pretty quiet if you're dead in a grave and I found out I don't want to be THERE yet. I woke up with arthritis. hurting but went and got my Carafate for ulcers, Ditropan for bladder spasms and Zofran to keep the nausea down, laid back down after a potty 🚽break, got 2 more hours until my TPN is done, I'll see if my leg pain gets better, if not, I'll pop a couple💊 Tylenol, save the Tramadol and Norco for something more serious. And start to sip my bottle🍶 of Propel, nobody mentioned I would be doing 2 oz☕ cups this far out, but it works out to 8oz per hour, and I'll make my 64 oz today,even if it is in small increments. Snowy snowy here, close to 5 inches, but I didn't plan on doing anything outside anyway. Weighed frolicking in the snow⛄ verses falling, breaking arms, legs, hips, better safe inside than sorrows in the ❄snowdrifts. My bones don't just bend and bruise, they go CRACK and then there is a long 😧healing ahead! No Thank You Very Much!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
