Oneyearout

1 year out this month. I started keeping track of everything I put in my month. I have lost 100 lbs in one year. Focus on how you feel now and why you did this in the first place. YOU can do this friend, DONT GIVE UP. It isn't looking great for me which is important , It's FEELING GREAT!!! Don't give up!

Drink your water...it gets better I promise. 1 year out I lost 100 lbs and feeling great. Best thing I ever did!!! YOU can do this. Food is fuel not love. Keep busy. Proud of you for taking the first steps in your journey!!!! Hang in there!!

I'm 62 1 year out still haven't told many. Didn't want to be talked out of it. Best thing I ever did for myself. Lost 100 lbs in a year, passed my goal, jog 4 miles everyday now. Love the way I feel.

In Oklahoma had surgery in Edmond. 1 year anniversary. Had the sleeve best thing I ever did. Lost 100lbs passed my goal. Jogging 4 miles every day now. I'm 62. Heathy has no age!!! Good Luck!

Age 62 had surgery last year in Feb. when I was 61. Best thing I ever did. Had the sleeve lost 100 lbs. feeling GREAT! Good Luck!!

One year this month I had my surgery... when you get to your goal cleaning your closet out is the most fun. I retired last summer and gave all business suits to good will. Giving away my my heels to buy running shoes is a lot of fun too! Down 100 lbs, passed my goal and feeling better then ever. Going shopping dreading to but hoping I find something to buy that will look half way descent to me. Now, everything looks good it's hard to decide what not to buy. Being healthy has no age!

SMART!! Well said!!

I'm 62 and had the sleeve done a year ago this month. I told no one but my husband, I didn't want anyone talking me out of it either. I feel better now then I have in years. Started gaining weight in my late 40s. I've lost 100 lbs in one year and passed my goal. The BEST thing I ever did for myself. Finally a few months out told my two children who live on their own and told two of my best friends who both live in other towns. It is no ones business unless you are comfortable telling them. Trust your gut and if you feel it's right for you do it. This group sounds like some smart and kind people and if any of them lived in Oklahoma we would all be friends. I agree surgery is scary but living healthy is so much worth it for me anyway. Pray about it and find peace with your decision. Good Luck!

I was 61 when I had surgery! I year this month. I have Blue Cross Oklahoma. BEST THING I EVER DID. Was never over weight until my late 40s. Lost over 100 lbs. YOU can do it, being healthy has no age.

GREAT!!! I am one year out lost 100 lbs! BEST THING I EVER DID!! Congrats on your new wonderful journey!!!

Good Luck Mallory! Had my sleeve 1 year ago this month. BEST thing I ever did. Listen to your doctor, drink water, walk, take vitamins, eat protein and watch yourself getting healthy. Good Luck kiddo!

Kiki, I had to weight two months also for insurance. Visited with my doctor he told me to maintain for two month. I was close to being a diabetic, father passed away of heart problems, 3 half sibling were diabetics and none over weight. My doctors convinced my insurance that it was best to have surgery. 1 year out this month. Lost 100 lbs, jogging 4 miles a day, passed my goal weight and feeling wonderful. Best thing I ever did. Outlaw hope you are doing well. Know you can get thru this and will be better for it!!! Keep up the good work. Kikib85 keep us posted.

I will be waiting to here how things go Jersey. Please keep us posted. 1 year this month I had the sleeve done. I've lost 100 lbs passed my goal and feel better then I have in years. Jogging every day 4 miles, drink water, eat protein and fresh veggies, take my vitamins and knowing I will keep it off. Feeling healthy is the BEST part, and feeling in control. Got rid of all fat clothes because a healthy ME is my top priority now. Good Luck I pray all works out for you and you can start this amazing journey. Your Oklahoma support pal!!!

One year out this month. Lost 100 lbs. I did shed hair but I also had it cut lady June which probably wasn't the smartest move. It's getting thicker but I hated that I once had long thick hair and now short and thinner. Comparing some hair loss and losing 100 lbs I WOULD STILL HAVE THE SLEEVE! How I feel, the energy I have, knowing I can wear skinny jeans and look great.... means so much more. Jogging 4 miles a day!!! Not even close to being a diabetic anymore means so very much more.

Just 1 year out. Would love to hear how all of you are doing now. I can tell we would be friends you all are so cool.

I am 1 year out this month. Lost almost 100 lbs and feeling great. Jog 4 miles a day! Best thing I ever did for myself!!!

Now the hardest thing is deciding what to buy because when you do shop, everything fits and everything looks good. Haven't done that in 30 years. It's an amazing feeling. Instead of buying that one thing that looks the least unattractive, buying many things that look GREAT!

Hello, I had surgery I year ago this month and have lost almost 100 lbs. Passed my goal. I lost weight pretty fast and lost hair. That was really the only problem I really had. Which wasn't THAT much of a problem compared to how much better I feel. It has started growing back in. I drank all my water, took my vitamins, ate mostly proteins and always fresh vegetables. No carbs no sugar exercise and now jogging 4 miles a day. Everyone I know who has had the sleeve lost some hair. I just wear it different and go on. Still the surgery is the BEST thing I ever did.

Hello everyone! Glad I found you all, my age. In Oklahoma, got sleeve a year ago this month, was 61. Was never over weight until my late 40's then packed it on. 230 at surgery. Now 136. Feeling great but am also nervous that I can maintain. I eat protein, jog 4 miles a day, drink all my water and take daily vitamins. Everything has been good except I really lost hair. Anyone have that problem. It's starting to come back really wavy and more curly now. Which is fine... losing 93 lbs in a year compare to some hair loss... no problem. Love to hear from others on your journey. If you ask would I do it again at this age YOU BET! Wish I had done it 20 years ago. Almost Diabetic and heart problems is what got my attention. Great to hear about all your successes and concerns!
