Hi Julie I am also in my 60's late 60's. I really would like to be below 200 for Christmas so I too need accountability but that means different things to folks. Please explain yours and I will explain mine and we will see if we can help each other.

Good evening everyone. I did look back to see my weight in January of this year and I was 265.6. I weighed this morning and was 260.6, so I lost 5 pounds and did not gain as I thought I had. I have been downloading chair exercise youtube videos today so I can do them on my 5 days off of work. A local friend who has lost…

Seems like this did not get off the ground. Will there be one for Sept? I have regained since May of last year and really need to stop this and head back down.

It has been quite some time since you posted. Having had WLS myself in 2016, I was wondering how you are doing and if you ever got the bike and started bike riding. I hope to hear about your success.
-
It has been over 3 years since I was on this posting. Nice to see some folks found this and posted. In answer to your question MelodiousMermaid I was riding up until May of 2019. at that time I had another excess skin removal surgery and had major complications which resulted in a 3 month recovery time. Since Aug I was on…

Off track big time. Came back here after being gone for more than a year. Had excess skin removal surgery with major complications in May of 2019. Since that time gained 33 of the 280 pounds I had lost. This quarantine is not helping the situation. I have got to get back on track and start heading back down. MFP says 1200…

Wonderwoman Wow you have been through a lot over the past year. Was the tumor from your leg removed during the inner thigh lift? Am hoping you are recovering without any complications. Just to fill you all in on my progress I did have my 2nd surgery a Brachioplasty in March of 2018. Had complications and had to have…

Hi Val Thanks! So sorry to hear about the immobility. What caused that to happen? 60 hours week OMG how do you do it? I have forgotten is Em your dog or child?

Will have to check and see if anyone still posts over there. I think it was NS lose 5 a month or something like that. I do not know how severe your loose skin issue is but I…

Hi, Jan So sorry I did not include you in my earlier post. I did not realize you were still posting here. Yes, I do remember you and the horses and thank you for the compliments. The only surgery that was rough was the Brachioplasty in March 2018. I was sent home 1 hour after waking up. Was home 10 minutes and had to be…

Hi Roger and Val I am not sure if you both remember me or not as I have not been around for a long time. I am back as I want to get off these last 40 pounds. I thought MFP, biking and going to Curves would help. I finally lost over 270 pounds and had so much excess skin that over the last 1 1/2 I have had 3 surgeries to…

Franklin Just read all your posts here. You are such an inspiration. You have gone thorugh a lot of the past year. I know what you are going through as I was once 497 and am down to 227 and heading toward 180. I have 4 herniated discs can't walk without a walker. However I do ride 6 miles on my bike, do 4 different arm…

Wonderwoman it was good to hear from you. You have been through a lot. Hope things are getting easier for you.

Have lost over 280 pounds and have excess skin all the way down to my wrist. The surgeon took care of the approval for me and stated the weight of the excess skin on my arms causes arm movement difficulty and I get shooting pains from the nerves and bad skin infections. Here is a picture of my arms.

Yep I too had to clean house of obese friends. All they ever wanted to do was eat and party and they were all over 40 not youngsters. Now I have wonderful friends from my community who support me every step of the way. I was once 497 and am now 211 and getting my second excess skin removal surgery March 19th. It was the…

Wonderwoman hope your doing well. We haven't heard anything since Jan 30th. Did you get the drains out yet? Are you now able to drive? How is the pain? I was suppose to have a Brachioplasty on Monday 2/12 but I got sick Jan 30th and my surgery has been postpponed until March 19th. This would have been my second covered…

Thanks Judy. You figured out the friend thing as you accepted my friendship. Much appreciated. Hope you and everyone else had a Good New Years Eve. I have off 2 more days and then back to my part time job. Are you and the others in this thread working or retired?

Even at 2 years post op I struggle with how I think I look compared to how I really do look. Looking at New Years Eve pics I was like Is that really me. I still see myself like this: Until I look at the pictures and see this:

Welcome to all the newbies. It is good you are all starting now to change behaviors which has resulted in weight loss. I changed a lot of my behaviors before surgery which resulted in me losing 180 pounds. This surgery was the best thing I did for myself. I was 60 years old when I had the sleeve, hernia repair and…
