TakeitorSleeveit 124 Posted October 26, 2015 This weekend, I blew right into Onederland!! Woohoo! I'm 53, and I had my sleeve surgery on 6/23/15. Since then, I've lost 56 pounds. I lost 20 during the 3 month pre-surgical period required by my insurance. I feel a bit like a new person. And I don't really mean emotionally. I was a pretty confident fat person before surgery. But now, my knees and ankles and feet don't hurt. I'm enjoying wearing my clothes again, and I'm so excited about the future. I have five grandchildren, and I'm back to being that fun grandmother I always planned to be. Now, instead of just being fun in the kitchen and at the sewing machine, I'm active with them. I can be physically fun with them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seaux_beautiful_vsg 63 Posted October 26, 2015 This is awesome. Congratulations! I know how you feel. I'm 35 but I have never weighed 185- until now... I went right from 160 at 15 to 218 because I was pregnant and had toxemia. I'd gotten up to 266 but now I'm 185 and ecstatic about it! Way to go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mlp1435 45 Posted October 28, 2015 Thank you so much for your message , it hit home with me , I am 59 and really my issues where my knees and feet . I have two sweet grandchildren and a wonderful husband . I just was reading about all the folks that are anxious , seeing therapist , nut's, measuring counting , over thinking a lot . I just told my husband is there something wrong with me ? I'm just one day at a time , using common sense on what I eat and do . I am today 5 days out , feeling good and excited . Your message made me feel good and I can't wait until I and 50 or so pounds down . #onedayatatime #dontoverthink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
