@@Amy373 not so much as a program I follow I just focus on one part of my body at a time and remember to drink a lot of water and do a lot of walking this is key I'm now 40years old so it's harder for my skin to fall back in place so keep in mind you also wanna keep your skin moisturized good luck

Left shoulder pain after eating
alswifey replied to tiffany81's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Take smaller bites and make sure you are chewing chewing chewing allowing your food time to digest I know they told me in the beginning that if I didn't move around that the gas would move to my shoulder blades and it would be a horrible feeling thank God I didn't get it
