I'm 44 and had surgery Oct. 15, 2012. I'm nearly a size 16 again & really am amazed. I'm a newlywed and would like to have my wedding photos redone when I reach goal. I was married in 2010 (first marriage & no children). I struggle with stress eating and am trying to use exercise as a stress reliever instead of food. I'm not always successful but I'm working on it. So far, it's been relatively easy, but I know it will get harder especially if I don't get my emotional eating under complete control. Protein Shakes help and keeping track at mfp.

It's really hard to imagine what it will be like at a healthy BMI...I can't wait!

Sleeve date: Oct. 15. HW: 315; SW: 283; CW: 228

Hello all! I turned 49 in Dec. I have 2 great kids, 28 and 22. I vowed to be a slim and healthy 50! Sleeved on 3/6 and down 17 (5) was pre-op

Hey, everybody! I'm new here & still figuring the site out. I'll be 49 in May, and I'm planning to have surgery on June 19. I have some pretty severe mobility issues, so my main hope is to lose enough weight to be able to hold off on double knee replacement for several more years. I've already begun to think ahead to my birthday next year, when I will hit the big 5-0 at 11 months post-op. I'm thinking about celebrating by doing something physical that would not be possible this year. Maybe salsa lessons? A trip somewhere that requires a lot of walking? I don't know what it will be, but it seems fitting to Celebrate with something that is newly possible. I'm glad to be here & looking forward to making new connections!

Welcome! I kind of had the same goal. I'm 46 but I want to enjoy and "live life" with my kids and grandchildren. I don't want to be the fat granny sitting on the sidelines watching all my family enjoy life. I want to be in the middle of it all living to the fullest!

That is a wonderful idea! Give yourself a goal to work for. It will motivate you to "keep your eye on the prize".

I am 46...happily married to my prom date...we have three amazing children. Oldest is 25 and youngest is 17. I am getting sleeved on May 16th. I wish I had done this a year ago so I would have looked stunning at my daughter's wedding last year. I am here now, and on my way to feeling better.

I am 47, 4 kids (21,19,13,11) and married for 23 years. was sleeved on march 13 in NJ and am down 13 lbs in 15 days and 30 overall since Xmas.

I am in puréed stage now but 2 tsp make me stuffed!

I glad I found this group as I always feel so much older than the many 20-something's getting sleeved.

As for skin, 3 of my babies were well over 9 lbs and one was 11-11 (no c-sects!) so I am already resigned to being saggy everywhere and having slinkys for boobs!

I hear ya on that skin thing. My largest was 9-13 but after 5 pregnancies my body is never gonna be fit for a magazine spread for sure. I'm concentrating on looking good with clothes on! That's enough. And being healthy.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
