I'm doing arm weights but it's not helping my wings much. I'm firming up a little. My arms are really heavy so I'm kinda screwed. :-(

I do every arm muscle machine at the gym. I have this toned muscle and then my arm is starting to sag. But at least they look better than before.

My arms aren't THAT bad.....but could definitely use some tightening up.....I will deal with the loose skin any day rather than being the weight I used to be.

Slimpressions are a brand on compression garments. They have one that is meant to compress your arms back and tummy. It looks like a tshirt with sleeves to the elbow and the chest scooped out. They work really well! :) I don't know how much they are now but when I got mine it was $45 very well spent!

And I meant plastic surgery...brachioplasy.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
