I am married, 68 yrs old. I am a psychologist who does presurgical evaluations for people about to have bariatric surgery! In my professional capacity, I have met over 100 people from all walkds of life planning for bariatric surgery. Since I had it myself, I can answer many of their questions from my experience. My wife had vertical sleeve surgery almost 4 years ago, and I, about 3 and a half years ago. I have gotten as low as 185 lbs (almost 100 lbs from where I started with dieting about 6 mos prior to the surgery). Now I am 200 and want to get down to 175. I have a hard time staying away from the carbs, especially in the evening when I am not so busy.

I am using an APP called [i]Lose It[/i] to keep track of my diet and a Nike Fuel Band to motivate me to get more exercise.
