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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
