A thought to ponder, found this today and it is true.
Some people try to turn back their odometers, but not me. I want people to know why I do look this way. You see I have traveled a long way in my life and all the roads were not smoothly paved.

Good luck to you. I was 68 when I had my sleeve done wish I did it sooner. Recovery was a piece of cake. Missing real food though. I have to just get used to that.

So as I’m losing, my resting you know what face must be changing. Every time my daughter walks in the room this past week she looks at me and says,”what?!” Me: “what, what?!” She says, “you were making a face”. HUH?! Sitting doing and thinking absolutely nothing! It’s all I can figure out. 😐🤪😂

Ps. I’m counting it as a NSV!! Lol

off blood pressure and diabetic meds - Age is nothing but a thang.

@CaribeRidge

Everything sounds terrific, things will only get better.

the NSV's you mentioned will continue and become more frequent.

your DH sounds like a keeper! buying a similar bike to ride with you,

what a sweetie.

Getting thin so you feel like you "deserve" your DH - hmmmm - i think/hope

you know better. he loves you now - size doesn't matter, but smaller definitely

will help with your medical issues, diabetes gone - and HBP is lower now. true,"

personnel" things you and DH will enjoy as you "grow" smaller.

True - age is just a number. Every year my number goes down and down and

down!! LOL I was one month shy of being 58 years OLD when i had the sleeve.

now,7+ years, i am now 65 years YOUNG!!

keep up the good work

kathy

congrats

I just turned 50 last December and I’m having gastric bypass surgery April 16th. I decided it was time to stop letting the food control my life. I’m super excited about having surgery.

How exciting! I turned 50 last October and had my surgery feb 6, so we will literally be about the same age on surgery date! Can’t wait to see what us 50+ future hotties can do!

      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.
