New to fifties group

[#9grammy 274]

I am on the other side!

Just took a walk down the hallway, first one. Sitting up in a chair and so tired it's hard to keep eyes open.

I did GREAT! If it weren't for the new stomach hurting I would have no pain at all.

Thank you for all the best wishes they sure have worked wonders.

First night is ruff, no it's TOUGH! can't keep the eyes open yet your not sleeping or are you?

Lots of pain where the stomach was is , nothing in port areas.

Time to walk.... Later

Morning @@#9grammy! The fact that you can end that report by saying you're heading out for a walk just shows how strong you are internally. No amount of pain is going to keep you down; you've got this!

[Kathy812 794]

@@The Candidate thank you. But let me keep it in perspective. I lost 15 in the preop & 10 post sugery but at the end of the day 25 is 25!! So I am happy.

[Kathy812 794]

@@#9grammy I agree w/candidate. I couldn't communicate the first three days. Hang in there, my first week was difficult.i am in week two & feel so much better.

Has anyone talked to vsglady? I haven't heard from her since her surgery, a little concerned.

Hey girls! I've been gone for a few days because my cousin's husband is at mayo dying of multiple myeloma cancer and it has been just awful. It makes me happy to see all of the successes going on here, so Congrats to all the new sleevers! Happy I lost another 2 lbs and it's getting much easier as far as tracking my food and getting my daily steps in. I'm still loving my Jawbone Up24 fitness armband. Thanks for telling me how to get my ticker too. I've got to get to bed early because, I'm exhausted. Keep up the good work everyone!

I'm on the plane on my way to Mexico for my surgery, broke ankle and all. Get there this afternoon VSG tomorrow! A little nervous but more ready to be done at this point.

Hi everyone, just found this and would love to be a part of the group!

I'm 53, was sleeved 9/16 ... 6 weeks yesterday . It's been a roller-coaster for me, but my only regret is not having this surgery earlier!!!

I'm in my 2nd stall already, but I'm ok with that. I just keep focusing on the big picture. I'm down 41.5 lbs including my 2 week pre- op diet. I haven't been under 200 in over 8 years and I'm 7.5lbs away and already my BMI went from 45 ( morbidly obese) to 38 (never thought I'd be happy to be Obese) LOL

[LainieG 132]

@BellLuce4 Glad for you to join the group,we have some great ladies in here. We have had 3 be sleeved since October 17th and all are doing great. One will be done tomorrow in Mexico. Myself, not done yet but hoping before end of year and if not what a great way to start the new year.

Congrats on your weight loss so far, that is great in 6 weeks !!

Keep us posted
