Chiming in late, but I'm going to be 51 on Thursday, and will be having my surgery soon too! I have looked over on the 50 and over page, but not a lot of people post over there... maybe we need to bring it back to life with new blood

I'm so excited about my new chance to be slim, but a little bummed about the likelihood of all the excess skin. Someone needs to invent a magical skin shrinking cream for us! LOL

Good Luck! See you on the other side for sure!

I am 61years young. I had surgery on 4/4/2016.

Had RNY surgery in March 2015 when I was 51 years old. Have lost 125 pounds. Best thing I ever did.

I love to hear that Hagengirl3!

Im same age and having revision from band to bypass in 2 days time. I'm so scared that I'm making a mistake and that I'll regret it.

Have you regretted your decision for bypass at all??

Can you tolerate alcohol at all? I just hope to have a glass of wine occasionally.

Im mostly afraid of never being able to eat out with friends at restaurants again. Its a big part of socialising here in Australia.

Have u found foods that you just cannot eat at all?

Would you do it again if you could go back in time?

I had my surgery 4/4/2016 I feel better already. I have lost 33 pounds but keep in mind the Protein is essential its look putting gas in your car. I felt really tired one day then it dawned on me need more Protein. Well good luck on your weight loss journey. I thought about for a long time it is a mindset change and a life style change.

So I'm 50 y/o starting my journey to a thinner me! My surgery date is 4/14 and I'll be starting my 2 week liquid Protein diet tomorrow. I'm nervous but excited that it's finally here and I can see the light of a healthier, more active me around the corner. Anyone else starting this over 50? My husband is starting as well two weeks after me.
