58 y.o. female looking for others my age who have had gastric bypass

[Pamela Diamond 2]

I am a 58 y.o. female who is 6 mo out from a gastric bypass. I have lost 60 lbs and am so happy for making this journey. I would love to be able to chat her with someone my age who is on this same journey.

support is very important in order to be successful. Let's talk

Hi! I'm 54, and am 9 weeks out. I've lost 48 lbs and feel amazing. I have 52 pounds to goal. I just started exercising seriously this week, and am feeling amazing! I'd love to chat with you and get support!

[Jolisue 112]

P.S. I should also say I had the bypass when I discovered I was 100 pounds overweight and was overwhelmed at the thought of losing that much weight. I'm 5'10", so people kept telling me that I didn't look that overweight. But I have high blood pressure, sleep apnea and anemia. I knew I wanted to be healthy. So here I am and couldn't be happier!

Congrats all! What Protein do u guys use?

[Jolisue 112]

I drink Premiere Protein Shakes. Each shake has 30 grams of Protein, and they are pretty good. (160 calories.)

[Taglied 7]

I use premiere Protein as well I love it I drink it between Breakfast and lunch

[Mbstas 57]

I am 57 and 9 months post op. I have lost 110 pounds since this whole journey started and am about 5 pounds from my goal. I have never liked the ready made Protein Drinks but make my own, using recipes from the Bariatric Foodie Cookbook.

I am 56 years old and had surgery Dec 8. I had a rough go my bowels stopped working and I just got out of the hospital yesterday Dec 13. Please tell me it gets better I am struggling with fluids, Protein, pain, and weakness

I'd love to join in! I'm 58. For the moment :-) My birthday is at the end of the month. I am 4 days post op and am feeling surprisingly good! No weight loss yet. I have my first post-op appointment on the 17th. My PA thinks I'll be out of the morbidly obese category by then. I'm not holding my breath! Maybe by my 2nd appointment on the 24th:-)

[Taglied 7]

It will get better it took me a long time to feel better and to admit that I made the right decision. It was 4 months on the 8th of December and I am down 60lbs I feel really good just remember to get as much Protein Ina's you can it will get easier as time goes on..it's very hard in the beginning hang in there !

[csk2400 2]

Thanks for the encouragement. I needed it. I'm feeling a little better but still struggling with gas and getting in enough fluids.
