I'm 46 and have a terrific hubby of 23 years. 6 kids, ages from 8 - 22 years. I finally had to do something about my fatness and inability to do things with my family. 29 lbs down so far. I have 54 to go. Went from 22 to 18. I'm starting to get compliments now. It's nice!!

I'm 42 and don't feel it at all..... quite scary really as it makes you rethink about parents etc when you were young and how you thought of them.

Loving my sleeve, wish I had done it years ago and saved myself lots of hassle and heart ache.... but can't change the past so looking forward to a slim and sexy future! :lol:

May I join in? I turned 48 in Nov and am hoping that this will be an excellent year! I am married to the love of my life. He has sure honored the "thick" part of our wedding vows! We have 5 adult children 3 boys and 2 girls, ages 24-19. 3 still in college and 1 in medical school. I am truely blessed with a job I usually love, a family I always love and lots of supportive friends.

I have surgery on Jan 6th and will begin my journey to "thin" at that time. I have faith that the good Lord will be with me on every step of my journey and with my faith and family I can achieve my goals. Thanks to everyone on this board for your support, advise and prayers

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
