Congratulations! Honestly, if I was in your place and losing at that rate I wouldn't have the surgery either. It's definitely a "last resort" for me. Keep me the good work!

My surgeon & I reviewed both & ultimately decided on the sleeve. He was upfront that he just felt the sleeve "just made more sense to him" for me. His reasoning was because I don't have any co-morbidities and the "estimated" difference in weight loss was only like 7 lbs more or something if I went RNY. So he didn't feel that the extra long-term risk with RNY was worth it. He did mention if I had diabetes or GERD, he would have recommended RNY. Good luck with your decision!

Congrats! I just received my pre-approval from insurance today too but don't meet with the surgeon to set a date until 9/29. You're lucky on your pre-op diet - ours is liquids only (HMR Diet Protein shakes) for 2 weeks. It's gonna be a long two weeks!

I use Fatsecret lots to see, read, challenges etc

anything worth doing is Never easy [emoji3]

I use LoseIt. I saw some people on IG that use Baritastic it looks pretty cool.
Honestly the best thing to do it download several and try them all then decide on what you like. They all do the same thing, just differently so it is personal preference.

I used My Fitness Pal daily till I got to goal and loved it. So easy to use and syncs with my scale and my running app (Map My Run). I've been in maintenance for three years and still use it to check in once in a while to make sure I'm still on track.
