Something new I going to tryout... I just installed a app on my phone which is a stop watch. I programmed it to go off every 30 minutes. Once this stop watch goes off I am going to do 40 arm lifts; lifting my arm over my head... hopefully this would help me to lose some of my upper arm fat and toning my upper back at the same time. If I start at 8:00am - 8:00 pm I should have done 960 arm lifts... Have anyone tried something like this before ? And if so did it help? Are do anyone have any suggestion? I have yet to be sleeved yet trying to tone up and continue developing lean muscle???? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@ Mitch1 Wow! only 8 weeks and you've already lost 40 lbs ... That's bananas. Congrats to your accomplishment! Thanks for, all the positive and encouragement you had elaborated pertaining to... shearing my journey with my family; I have truly been considering tell my extended family. I am going to have to be optimistic with all the feedback, that I will be encountering lol negative and positive. Due to the fact that their opinion will be just be an opinion. My mind is already mad up, I no that this surgery will be the best for, me:) And yes, I had been telling them for, years about all the issues, that I've been encountering with not losing weight... Yes it is an exciting feeling... And I am only at the begging of this long journey! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@ MissB1982 The reason why I want to have surgery is because; I have been trying to lose weight for over nine years... I have tried counting calories, exercising, Portion Control, and nothing has seem to work or maybe I should say I have only been able to loss 20lbs top... Which is consider Water weight. I really believe once I become over weight by 100 additional lbs the weight was not going to come off with me just dieting and exercising along... The reason why I am choosing VGS is because. I need additional help with my intake of eating food, I have heard over and over that this surgery is just the tool. I will still have to do a lot of work to keep it off. I have a question for you... how long did it take for, you come to the conclusion that you needed surgery? And was you open to tell your family that you was getting surgery?

@@Daisydawn34 You are not alone. I had faced a similar situation without me telling my mother ... To make a long story short; I have been dealing with been overweight for the past 10 years... I am a mother to five children. After my first appointment with the surgeon. I had called my sister to have coffee conversation. I lives in NV and all my family lives in CA... She and I alway talk about the newest weight loss pill or weight-loss diet. I had mentioned to her that I was thinking about a drastic way to lose weight and keep it off... I never indicated VGS. A few days later my mom. Called me; talking about people passing away durning or after weight lost surgery. She is very much so, against weight-loss surgery. Due to how she felt about the topic at hand I didn't tell her, I still have yet told my mother, sister, or even my oldest daughter. I just don't want any negative feedback. I have giving my body to have five children, I have became unhealthy, I am tired of walking around like I am not happy with my weight, I am unable to walk upstairs without getting out of breath, I have difficulty tying my shoes. Sometime we just have to put ourself first... My affirmation is in order to be a better me I have to work on the things that I can change... I can't change negativity but, I am not letting them talk me out of this... Once I have the surgery I will then tell them. My husband is on bored and my daughter that's sixteen... I am very longly with this decision. Because the people I normally tells all my business to, I have yet to tell them; it's sad that I used to value their opinion that much... to the fact that I am longly without them knowing .
