8 weeks Post OP on a 57 year old woman



Recommended Posts

Hi there, my name is Katherine. I did my VSG with Dr Aceves in Mexicali Mexico on May 2. I am thrilled with my results so far. I have lost 36 lbs and drum roll please . . . 45 inches OFF my body . . . 8 inches off my waist!!!

My incisions are so small, I can hardly see them...I use wheatgerm oil on them.

I feel great, swim 3 times per week and walk twice a day with my dogs. IF anyone is questioning if they should do the VSG, I say go for it. It will change your life.

And let me mention, I am 57 years old and for those "stinkin thinkin" people who believe that if you are in your 50s or 60s and wanting this surgery and older women dont lose as fast as the younger gals, I say look at me.

AGE does not determine your weightloss blueprint.

Your MIND and your MOUTH will determine how much weight you decide to lose.

Please read my other posts for how I am losing so far, or visit me on my YouTubes at BusinessOfHope.

I am 50 but I feel young - I have alot of living to do - with a 9 year old - I want to live to terrorize everyone until I am least 90!!!!

Hopefully getting my revision within the next 4-6 weeks - BUT thankyou - you have inspired me again.

      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.
