The inches are melting away!

My surgery was April 17th. I took all my measurements the night before my surgery. I took them again tonight. I've lost a total of 14 inches! That's A LOT in one month! Here's how it looks.

 

I'm 5' 7".

 

Forehead 23 5/8 23 5/8

Neck 17 1/4 16 1/2

Chest 46 1/8 44

Breasts 48 1/4 47 1/2

Waist 46 45 1/2

Hips 52 1/4 51 5/8

Bicep-L 16 3/8 14 1/4

Bicep-R 16 15 1/4

Forearm-L 12 11 1/2

Forearm-R 11 1/2 11 5/8

Wrist-L 6 3/4 6 3/4

Wrist-R 6 3/4 6 3/4

Thigh-L 29 1/2 27 1/8

Thigh-R 29 3/4 28 1/8

Calf-L 17 3/4 17 3/8

Calf-R 18 17 5/8

Ankle-L 9 5/8 9 1/4

Ankle-R 9 3/4 9 3/8

 

I'm going to measure monthly. The results from inches lost will be a bigger victory than the pounds.

I wish i had done this also, I'm stalling as well. Have only lost maybe 2lbs and i'm stuck right now. I walk everyday for about 30 minutes, I'm about 4 weeks out. I thought maybe its because im not eating enough protein. I literally forget to eat, i'm not hungry at all and when i do eat soft foods, i have 2 tbls and im done. what can i do to get this weight loss into high gear again?

Pre Op

Congratulations. That is a good idea. I never thought of taking my measurements just watching the pounds but I am going to start now. My surgery was April 25th so I am not too late:)
