Am i kidding myself?

[JIllette 57]

I'm 46 and I feel like I'm 60. I'm 5'5 and 235. I'm getting sleeved Sept 10. I feel like this surgery will make me feel like I'm in my 30's again. Am I kidding myself? Am I going to be smaller' date=' but still feel like I'm 60? I just think with less weight and working out more i will have more energy. I just have no get up and go. What have you 40's ladies who have been sleeved noticed in your energy level?[/quote']

I was sleeved July 11 and after the first week been working out daily. I am 45 do I feel younger no will you have more energy yes.

Thanks, I am also hoping for more energy!

I am also hoping for more energy. I do feel better, but still do not have the level of energy I would like. The last time I lost weight, I did it with the aid of phentermine, and I think I just have a skewed view of how energetic I was from the last time! I was on a stimulant FCOL!

I think some people look down on me for having the surgery so young' date=' like they think I didn't give myself long enough to try and lose it on my own. Well I've been trying to lose weight and keep it off since I was 13 and was obviously unsuccessful.

The surgery has completely changed my life. Now I exercise 5 days a week and I love it. I've lost 110lbs and I never could have done that without this.

Good luck I hope you have another baby <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

Who cares what anyone thinks! You saved your life!! Not to mention if you started when you were 13 you for sure had many years and tears of trying on your own!

I'm hoping for the same! Just turned 40, two little ones and I swore I'd be in the best shape of my life by this last birthday...instead of continuing to beat myself up I'm gonna take control this year:-). Should be kicking ass by 41. No date yet, but surgeon visit next and likely late October in Boston.

I'm 35, sleeved May 29th, I will say I feel a lot better now at 35 than I did at 32, 33, 34 while I was carrying the 50lbs I have lost so far! I had no co morbidities, but was sluggish and tired a lot.

This is the best thing I have ever done for myself!

Just turned 44 in late-September, getting sleeved in November - I'm calling that my REbirthday.

I hope my only regret is that I didn't do this sooner - like in my 30's when I started thinking about it!

I am 49 I made myself a promise that I would change my life and health before my 50 th the next phase of my life I intend on enjoying not hiding from ...... Sleeved on 9/16/13 ..... No regrets only excitement !!!!

Hi I'm Chele! I'm 47, 5'3" and started out at 238. I had the Gastric Sleeve surgery on 12/29/14. I am now down to 220 but most of that was lost before the surgery (I started the procecss in May 2014). It has been less than five days so I have a long road to travel. I would love to hear any food/eating tips from successful members! Thanks!

8 oz of what? Don't push yourself, allow your body to heal. Focus on your fluids, sip, sip, sip. The rest comes with Time.

It gets better! Sip, sip, sip, heal and walk. This is the start of a new life!

I am 48 and as of today am 5 weeks post op and I can tell you that when my alarm goes off at 5:30am I only hit the snooze once. Prior to surgery I could roll myself out of bed until 9:00 even though I have to be at work by 10. By the time I got home from work at 5:30 I needed a nap. Now I am actually a part of the evening activities at my house. I am only hopibg it gets better as more weight falls off. You will feel better and by keeping a healthy positive attitude you will feel better faster. Good luck to all of us midlifers!

I was sleeved at 52 (two months shy of (52). Turned 53 yesterday. Best I've felt in 30 years.

Yes, it's not unreasonable to think you'll feel waaay better!
