Surgery after 65

[Sallyawbc 46]

Welcome to the new members of the 65+ group. I haven't posted for a little while but thought I would do an update. I have lost 84# since I started the process last July and 56# since my surgery Feb. 4. I have had many plateaus and the frustration of doing everything right and not lost a pound for weeks. Last Monday I had shoulder surgery so no exercise for a while but lost 5# since surgery. I literally have no appetite most of the time and must force myself to eat. I am supposed to be on Protein only but am bored stiff with no fruits and veggies so I do occasionally have a plum or berries or a bite of veggies. I am down from 26 size pants to 16W. Had to by new PJs and undies. The weight lose is finally evident to me and my friends and I am off most of my meds. This is the best thing I have done for myself in years and if you are feeling down and frustrated, just give it time. You will lose, it doesn't happen in a day, week or month but it will happen, I promise!!!!!

Yea Sally , it's great to hear from you! I know all these surgerys take a toll on our bodies. I'm soooo glad I did the surgery too! Since May 5th I've lost 30 lbs and I am thrilled. I'm still anemic but not as bad as I was so I'm starting with a trainer next week. I thank God every day for this opportunity to get this weight off! I'm so glad that you posted. Linda
