I was a slow loser from the get-go and lost 100% of my excess weight. I never thought I would lose it all because I seemed to be behind the curve throughout my whole journey, but I did it. Success with this has A LOT more to do with your level of commitment to your plan than it does to your rate of weight loss. If you are committed and really work at it, you will be successful.

I've just been told to do some walking around during my pre-op, I've lost like 10lbs in a week by just sticking to my pre-op diet and walking a bit. 4 more days until my big day.

I hear ya on the shakes. I like Built Bars they have tons of protein and they are nothing like your typical protein bars. Almost like eating a candy bar. Low sugar. Really good. I was also doing eggs everything. Good luck.

I had the sleeve and 7 years on I wish I had gone for the bypass. It's a really personal decision, but I tend to eat compulsively throughout the day, not large meals. Overtime my sleeve stretched and I regained a lot of weight due to eating small amounts regularly. I am now scheduled to have a mini bypass. So when you are weighing up your options, remember that the initial restriction from the sleeve is not permanent, I can now eat the same size meals as my husband. I hope that helps 🙂

Tomorrow is the day! RNY at noon. Prayers and love to all of my fellow July 2020 Surgery guys and gals! 🙏🏼❤️ Let’s do this. 😎

Scored this today on a rare shopping trip 😍 I'm certain its made with vanity sizing because it was slightly too big

oh yea - I think you'll be thrilled with your arm lift. Kind of like I was with my lower body lift. I looked like a new person!

I cannot wait until I get my epic bat wings taken care of. They bother me way more than my saggy belly or boobs. I want these GONE and will be happy to have my scars.

Following this thread as I've thought about arm lift and/or thigh lift for round 2 someday, but am also concerned that I'm just trading flab for a scar and that I won't have a great result. Ever see the Shark Tank episode with "Skinnies" which were stickers for an instant arm or thigh lift. My guess is they don't work, but I wish that technique would work for surgery, pulling it all up without the vertical incision. I'm great at pulling my skin up, just don't have anywhere to put it. LOL!

Thanks so much. I needed to hear that. There will always be some who will testify to tremendous weight loss with any healthy eating plan, but when so much is already out of whack, as was with me and for so any decades, surgery was the answer to getting my life back. I think WFPB has take me to the next level of optimizing my health. Cholesterol, all the blood lipids, and inflammatory markers greatly improved with WFPB, even after losing the weight.
