I stopped coming to this forum because I am losing soooo much slower than people on here. I am 50 and post menopausal, so I knew it would be slow and I am not hard core dieting. I eat what I want, just a lot less of it! Had several weeks if being really sick and have been inactive too, but today did some before and after pics... I has surgery 2 1/2 months ago.

You look great! I am in the 50's (hahaha at least for a few more months anyway) and weight does come off slower. But that's OK - this is a journey we'll be for for the rest of our lives......and since I plan to be here for a L O N G time, especially now that I am getting so healthy, I've got time.

My weight loss is going very slowly now and my medical team & personal trainer all say that it is a good way to lose. I think it's helping me to work on developing more patience with myself.

Just keep to your medical team's plan and it will come off.

Good luck, keep us all posted - we're here to support you.

You look fantastic! Slow and steady wins the race!

I am 9 weeks out and am 52. I knew it would be slower for me because I have always been a slow loser and at our age, our bodies don't seem to want to give it up! I am not doing low carb, just healthy rounded meals with of course Protein first. I just hit my second major goal of another 10% of my body weight. It's going slow but it's going!

Congrats to you! You inspire me!

And yes, 50's are great! I My favorite decade so far!

I am 49, had a complete hysterectomy at 28, so I have been post menopause since then. I too am a slow loser compared to others 27 since 3/6. But I am finally embracing the fact that I am not everybody else, I can only be me and do the best I can. Plus at our age we need less chance at all that loose skin LOL. You look great though!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
