Wow i'm 45

I was thinking that i'm 45.When did that happen?I don't feel 45 and i'm told I don't look 45.Sometimes my bones and joints let me know how old I am.I guess age is just a number,what about the rest of you nice people,do you feel 40 something?...........Hope you all have a great day steve

Wow, so am I. I'm not sure how a 40 something is supposed to feel. I feel terrific - 90 pounds down and I can run and play with my grandkids. You have a great day. Sarah

Isn't it great to be 40 something? I recently turned 43 and am happy to report I feel 43. It sure beats feeling 63 like I did before surgery! Imagine, how young I'd feel if I'd have had the surgery sooner! Pam

I just turned 45 on September 4th. It seems that I was 16 wanting to be older and then I woke up 45. I'm sure something must've happened in between, but I don't remember too much about it. Same problem with my sister's little boy. He was a little baby and now he's 21 and married. I vaguely remember working 60-80 hours a week or two and three jobs and all that for years and everything just went by in a blur. Then I became disabled and now....well, I'm 45. I just had my surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago so maybe soon my life will begin again and I will have something to remember it by. I don't mind being 45 that much. I do regret all the years I didn't live. But all I can do is go from here. Congratulations on your terrific success! Joni

Your only as old as you feel my dear I'm sweet 45 and loving life. Like saying goes. Your like a fine wine. You get better with age Donna 338/178

Hi Steve. I too am 45! Well, I don't feel my age, and doesn't really bother me until I sit down and actually think about it and look at my kids and parents to really realize what it means I am glad I had this surgery done though because it gives me a new lease on life! I hope you look at it the same way! Glad to meet you Hugs!

Steve, My joints remind me I'm 44 every day! But, I really love being in my 40s. I feel so much more complete and comfortable with who I am then I used to. Even before WLS! Lori 384/298/170

Hi steve..I am 41 almost 42 and untill this year have felt like i was 90 something..I am down exactly 50 lbs now this year and I feel like my life is just begining sooo.... have a good weekend Lori

I know how you feel, somdays its hard to believe we are here and lived to tell. I am almost 2 1/2 years out and the size I was 28 years ago so I would say I feel marvelous. My oldest grandson and I were looking at pictures from when he was a baby,he is now almost 10,and he said "Boy Nana you sure have lost alot of pounds!!!" My 2 youngest will never know that old chubby woman in the pictures just this hot new granny!!! Who says life is over we have just begun to live!!!!

Hi, I'm 45 too, and I'm pre-op. All and all I feel ok about being 45. I look foward to feeling better physically once I lose weight. I think you are more accepting of yourself when you get to your forties. Take care Vanessa
