Para-thighs Lost

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!
