Para-thighs Lost

Best of luck to you! My surgery was March 11th, and I'm doing really well. You will too, you'll do great!

My first post! My surgery is March 11. I've been thinking about having surgery since my daughter was sleeved 2 years ago. This past August, I decided this will be my last effort at losing....and more importantly KEEPING the weight off! I started pre-op weight loss on January 26, which consisted of two small meals and three Optifast shakes a day for two weeks, then one small meal and four shakes for a week, and now only 5 shakes a day (no food), and of course at least 64oz Water. The weight is coming off. I can see how this liquid diet will help with the transition immediately after surgery. Oh...and I've had second thoughts about having the procedure throughout the process. At 66, I wonder what I'm doing....but over that past 40 years have yoyo dieted like many here, and ALWAYS gained it back plus some. When I expressed doubts to my husband, he simply said, "you've always taken the weight off...but never kept it off." I will now have a tool...and a bigger bag of tricks to KEEP the weight off! I'm excited! Wishing all my other March sleevers all the best!
