Slower than molasses, but...



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery right before my 60th birthday. Ten pounds a month is perfect. I think we are much better off losing it at this rate. In my opinion, it really helps let your skin keep up with the loss. I don't have hardly any excess skin;). What I said to myself before surgery: "I can't do anything about getting old but I CAN do something about being old and fat ! "

Best of luck to you all!

We can start our own support group, either here on the site or a Facebook group. If it were a fb group, it can be closed, so others can't see it. If there is interest, I will set something up. Thought?

I would also be happy to join a thread here. I am 63 and having my surgery September 13th. I will be very happy with a 10 pound loss per month.

We can start a Support Group on this website, under the Community tab. I will set it up and just call it "Over 55". Ok?

Great job!

And years later when you are maintaining those losses it won't matter a bit how long it took to get there.

If you're using the app instead of the desktop site, it's under Gastric Sleeve Support Groups, Social Support groups, all the way at the end.

Im 59 and Had my surgery in February. I wish you ladies a lot of luck. I don't think you are ever too old for the surgery. If you are willing to put in the work... then go for it. It's fabulous and you will feel so wonderful.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
