Looking for someone over 50. Sleeve surgery coming up on the 17th. Tuesday

[ConnieY 9]

I am 6 days post op now.

Belly grumbles all the time. When I drink any amount, it gets a sharp pain for 30 seconds. That happens so often. I don't think it's normal. I don't get nauseous though. Still walking very slowly

Hey there! I'm 55. HW 271.5. SW 246.9. CW 196.3. 75 pounds down. I'm 5'3" so I'd like to get into the 150 range so about another 40 or so to go. As I get closer I'll see where things stand. I was sleeved on August 23, so I'm coming up on 6 months.

Work the plan and the plan works for you. Don't be afraid to ask your team questions. My knees still hurt (they need to be replaced) but not nearly as bad - I don't need narcotics for the pain anymore. My asthma has gotten so much better.

Hello Connie. I'm 52 I just started my Journey. My first appointment was Fed 9 2017, I go back March 9. I am having the Roux En- York Gastric Bypass. Hope fully sometimes in Aug. Congrats to you.

How are you doing now Connie? I hope it is going well. I also got sharp stabbing pain when I drank for the first few months. Gradually got better and is now gone completely. I am 65 had surgery at 64. Wish I had done it sooner but husband and Dr were against it. Finally took control of my life and am glad I did.

Hi Karen, I'm 59 and my surgery is also on the 21st. So, how are you doing on the pre-op diet? I'm making it with no cheating and it isn't easy but gotta do it! Where do you live? I live in the Houston TX area.

[Karen1961 5]

Hi Cindy! Thanks for the note! For some reason I do not have to go on the pre-op diet. I don't have to do anything except fast the night before, but I am trying to do all liquids this week to get myself mentally prepared. I do know that if I cheat once I'll continue to cheat. Sugar / carbs has always been my go to for stress ? I pray I lose 80-100lbs ?

I live in Gonzales, between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, were neighbors!

Since we are having surgery the same day we have got to keep in touch. We got this! ??

Are you getting excited? I am almost finished with preop, I started this morning, in a little while I will be going back to my regular GP, I'm excited, apprehensive, and nervous! I had to do an EKG, spirmometer, blood and will get checked out by my doctor. Only 4 days!!

I'm one month out and still have trouble sleeping on my sides. Still some pain, but going strong!!
