  1. I'm over 65 and surgery is scheduled for early December...I'm already on a restricted diet for gout, so dealing with things I can't (shouldn't) eat is not new. However, protein heavy food and water is getting a little tiresome. Yes, I know it will be a permanent issue after the sleeve, but I love my veggies and fruit. This step is drastic as we all know, but having been fat my whole life I'd like to see what it's like to be able to wear normal clothes, sit comfortably in a plane seat and not be greeted by friends as "Hey...big guy". Whatever my life expectancy is...I want that experience. Plus I'm tired of using a CPAP for my severe apnea.
  2. I'm 65 years old and tired of being always the "big guy" since junior high school. Are there any "olders" out there that don't necessarily have 40 years ahead of them. I'll probably have surgery in the fall...but am scared because of the irreversibility.
  3. I'm still a number of months out from surgery but am worried about actual versus head hunger. I've been practicing with protein shakes and think I can handle the soft/liquid diet, but there is still that "what if..."
