Over 65 next week go for 3 month pre-op diet. Gained 10 pounds in two months. Time to get serious. I hope nobody makes me feel uncomfortable.

I need some buddy help to get to the end of this journey at age 67.

@MissSqueezedLemon

welcome to the board, we've been waiting for you

in the past, gaining 10 lbs in two months, many of us been there done that (piece of "cake")?

i was almost 58 years OLD when i was sleeved - i am now 65 years YOUNG

i have been at maintenance (little fluctuations) these past 6+ years

You sound great, knowing you have to buckle down and get serious

buttttt, i have to tell you your journey - reaching goal weight, is not the end of your journey

with your weight. journey continues for the rest of your life - always being careful what you

eat (can lax a bit after awhile) you remain strong - diligent and plain old smart, i know you

can do this - us seniors are special!!

good luck with pre-op and WLS

you'll be great

kathy

PS if anyone makes you feel uncomfortable - call me and i'll swat them!!)

Welcome! I'm glad to know you made this decision. I had my VSG last November at the age of 62. I wish i had it 10yrs ago. Better late than never. Good luck!

Welcome to these forums. Good luck with your surgery decision.

Still learning how to use the forum. I am 67 and weigh 260. Yes I am freakin short too, barely 5 ' .Struggle all of my life. Lost 130 pounds once kept off for a few years and have gained it back. How many things in life I have missed out on because of my weight. I live alone and really do not have others to talk to about my new journey. I am next facing visit with nutritionist to start 3 month diet.I am told this is strictly for insurance.I sort of, well actually resent being told to diet.Hey I have done enough of that and don't make a decision at 67 to go under the knife in a frivolous manner. I will look at it as a positive to see what I can learn. Already I feel better having had a few responses from this forum group as I am on my journey alone. I have chose to only tell two friends who do not judge. I want the next 10 years of my life to be joyful and not feeling isolated and judged because I am fat. Thanks for your kind words guys.
