I'm worried that I'm doing this too late in life. Hoping I will recover well. Thoughts?

Never too late. I know a woman That is just turning 60 and had it done. She has zero regrets and it's working for her.

I had my surgery June 2nd, 2016! I was soo scared but now I am so glad I went ahead and did it!! I sometimes feel like the process is creeping along but I am still loosing so that's good, right? My nutritionist and surgeon seem to think I am progressing well so I need positive encouragement to keep up the momentum. I don't didn't tell many people about the surgery and I'm loosing so slowly I'm not sure that even my co workers are noticing. But that's ok with me. I work without an office full of women who are VERY judgemental so I didn't feel any need to let them know what was going on. I hope all is going well with you :)

      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.
