Hi, congrats on making that step that will change your life. I am 65 and in August I'll be 1 year out. I am off my insulin and I can walk again without my legs giving out. I have 6 grandkids all under the age of 8. I know my surgery was a blessing and I know yours will be too.

Slimes for 5 hours? What the ?!?!
joanne keeton replied to WL WARRIOR's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Does sliming just involve vomiting or can it be diarrhea? -

55+ The wonders of VSG
joanne keeton replied to RaginCajun's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Hey I'lol be 65 on Feb. 1st. I was sleeved 8/5/2015. I'm about 4 months out and have lost 57lbs. Thanksgiving and Christmas were hard but I survived. I exercise an hour a day on a recumbent bike. I have so much energy now and can do so many things I couldn't do before. I can walk anywhere now. Before I could barely walk from my house to the car. It's slow but I'm determined to do it. I've gone from a size 22 to a size 14/16. My only problem is hair loss. I'm taking my biotin. Hope it all doesn't fall out. I am also off my insulin. Amazing. Who says you're too old. I feel like I'm young again. -
I need help! I am three and a half months out and 65 years old and in deep trouble I need your help

Try powdered chocolate Premier mix with 2% milk and blend with ice cubes. It's the best tasting I have found. Try P3 protein packs in refrigerator section. Example( Turkey, cheese, nuts). Adds protein. Good luck. -
Looking for friends my age going through the same.

I got the gummies. My biotin melts in my mouth. I only swallow my thiamin. I take a b12 shot once a month. The citrical comes in gummies. The one a day comes in gummies. Kind of like eating candy. -
Congrats on your loss. I was sleeved on August 5th. I am 64 years old. I have lost 53 lbs. I feel so much better. I can walk distances again. I ride my recumbent bike an hour a day. Does anybody know a good recipe web sight? I need some ideas on things to eat. Thanks!

Ready to be 64 and fabulous
joanne keeton replied to VsgPat2015's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved last week, Aug.5,2015. I can't believe I did it. I'm still on clear liquids. Go to Dr. Thurs.,Aug. 13th. Hope to move to full liquids then. Lost 20 lbs. pre-op. Lost 2 or 3 since. Doing well. Be better when I get off clear liquids. Oh forgot to say I do not need insulin at this point and down 2 blood pressure pills. It's nice to be on the other side.
