Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot



Recommended Posts

I have been measured several times, at several different stores. I have even been measured in several states! I am a 38 B right now.

I swear men make and design bras and they don't think of comfort when they do this. I have one old one that is made out of a very comfortable material. I can't find it anymore.

It's by Warner's and it's called "friday's bra"

I hope I don't lose anymore weight in my boobs. They are deflated enough.

I went to Vicky Secrets and got measired, and sur enough the wrong size for me. I was wearing a 44D... measured a 38C fits great. I bought the full coverage style, best money I have spent..

Now I found Bali's bra, is is softer and moves better than the Vicky Secret bra. same basic style, but feels more a part of me than something on me!! if you get what I mean!!! :smile:

Hi, Sherry. I'm due to get my band on May 21st too! I'm 58 so I'm nearly 60. From what I have read the medications do come in liquid form.

Welcome,

Susan

Hey Denise.....happy to hear that your revision is over and everything went well. As Janet said, please stay in contact with us on this thread. Will be interesting to hear of your journey.

Speaking of bras.....just have to recommend a brand that is an absolute dream. Hardly know you have it on it you buy the right fit. Had no clue it is the brand that Oprah brags about wearing. Came accross it at the recommendation of a little old lady shop owner. It's called LeMysterey Rouge. I ended up as a 38D. I did try a C cup but just didn't work for me.

Hi to all the newbies and welcome!

hello everyone. I'm due to get my band May 21. I am 64. Anyone out there got theirs in their 60's? Do most meds come in liquid form? Sherry

Welcome, Sherry!

There is a thread for 60+, and you're certainly welcome to hang out here, too, as I do!

You can get a lot of meds in liquid form. What in particular are you wondering about? I find I am able to swallow most tablets and capsules as long as they aren't too big. Immediately following surgery you will probably want to have some liquid Tylenol onhand. I take a few Vitamins, and I use Centrum Silver chewables, Calcium chews, liquid B-Complex (sub-lingual). My Rx are all small enough to swallow. And within a year of my surgery date, one cholesterol pill was discontinued and one of my two BP Rx half strength, making a much smaller tablet to swallow. So if you are on prescription meds, you may find your doctor eliminating some as your weight goes down.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

Thanks for trying to find it for me. I looked at all the pictures at those sites and none of them looked like the

one that I have. It's hard to tell from a picture though.

The sides are made out of this really light weight material

that is really comfortable.

It seems like Warner's must have come out with a new

"Friday Bra"

As far as revision goes, I am doing great. I am going back to work tomorrow. I feel fine. I am a little bit hungry some of the time. I am not supposed to feel hunger, but being on

Clear liquids for 10 days is going to be harder than I thought.

My stomach just aches sometimes because it just feels so

empty.

I just called the doctor's office to ask if I could move to

Protein shakes.

She was going to call the dr. and call me back but it was late in the day and didn't call. I am going to call again in the morning.

I'm glad you're going together. It would have been better if I had someone to talk to. WasA's friend came to see me and that was nice. Most people there were getting bands removed and not getting the sleeve. There were a couple getting bands that I didn't really want to talk to because I don't have anything good to say about the band.

      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.

      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! 😞
