Jaime, I'm 34 and I've never felt better, even when I was 21. Once you get over the shock of the nice round 3-0 - you'll see it was worth the transition. Besides, haven't you heard? 30 is the new 20! :)

I just can't believe my 20s are almost over. I am coming to terms with it, most days. I plan to be much healthier and enjoy my 30s much more than in my 20s, so it'll be ok. My husband turns 30 in less than a month and he's really freaking, so I'm doing my best to rub it in. I am four months younger, after all. :biggrin:

I used to always give my ex hell for being older than me (7 months).

Then I remarried and my current husband is 3 years younger than I am.

Dammit. lol

It's from a song lyric that I liked from the "Empire Records" soundtrack.

Ready Steady Go

and all the things she said

Ready Steady Go

was going through my head

I was a total reject from the wrongside of the tract....

thats all I can remember.

Plus I thought it described my situation.

My user name is the name I use for my character on several online games. Been using it for so long in and so many people know me only as Ezma that it's like my nickname.

I started tap dancing when I was 3, and danced my way through school...it even helped pay for my university education (not that I studied dance, but by then I was teaching it). It is one of things I miss the most - any kind of dance demands a fitness and agility that I no longer possess. However, it will come again with the loss of the weight, and my commitment to fitness. I won't ever be a threat to a Broadway show, but I shall enjoy tapping my toes, and shuffling my feet again.

Ok...I participate in a 12 step group...NA...and I was using 12stepn on everything. Then, I found it was taken on a lot of sites, so I morphed it into ts = twelve step or twelve steppin. And the last part is my name, Kelli. I wish I hadn't done it now. After I had been using it a long time, someone asked me if I was transexual. Not that I have anything against transexuals, that's just not who I am.

Anyways...my DH is 11 years older than me. Me and my girls rag him hard about it every chance we get!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
