Anyone lose more than 50lbs in this age group (over 60) ?

Hi Babs - have you looked into exercising in a pool. Don't know if you live in a city or not, but if there's a pool available, you can get a real workout in a pool exercise class.
Congrats on the 60 pounds. That's nothing to sneeze at. Best to you.

I'm 67 and in the pre op process. I too have bad knees which has led me to the bariatric surgery since I need to reduce my BMI in order to fix my knees. I will check back in when I'm schedualed for surgery. Good luck everybody...GOD SPEED 💜

I'm 62 had the sleeve surgery on 10-03-17 so far I have lost 58 pounds. My knees still hurt but I'm sure I will need to get them fixed. Otherwise I feel good. So happy I did this. I was not in any pain after surgery. I still can't eat much more than 1/2 cup of food. But I'm never hungry so it's not a bad thing. I cannot eat chicken, bread, crackers, or rice. I don't feel well if I do. In fact I just don't like to eat anymore. Which is ok by me. I eat because I should.

I am 58 and had my vsg in July 2017. Weight loss has been slow, but I am losing inches and I do feel great!

Its slow but, at least I am not gaining. The best part is no one seems to notice much and since my surgery is a secret, its a blessing! !

I did end up telling my sisters and they have been very supportive!

Hi. I just wanted to share. I have list ,70 pounds since Feb. 2017. My Dr thinks I should have lost more. I have 30 more to lose. But I am 67 years old and am OK with what I have lost. I did this for health and not for looks. Hang in there. IT'S NOT EASY!

I am 67 also. Surgery date 9\12\17. I’m down 40 since surgery and 78 in total. I’m with you....this is a health issue...we’ll never be 35 again...lol. Take your time and your body will tell you when you are where you need to be. As for having a number goal.....I don’t think it’s that important...if my numbers are good and I feel good then my goals are met. I live in WASHINGTON Where are You?
