I've lost how many inches?!



Recommended Posts

Good grief, I finally got around to taking my measurements which I have not done since 1 month post op. Now here I am at 4 months post op and down 63 3/4 inches. So as I was showing my husband the numbers it dawns on me that I have lost my height. Oh. My. Goodness. And I am not even to goal. Part of me is seriously embarrassed that I could lose my height in inches off my body but the other part of me says BOOYAH!

And this last week I went to my grandparents wedding and fit a size 12 dress and a medium shrug. I cannot even tell you the last time I fit in either one of those sizes.

So many NSVs now which I do believe I love more than watching the scale move. So many people in the past weeks that I have not seen since before surgery and well their reactions were kind of cool yet embarrassing at the same time. One lady even went up to my husband and told him how good I looked lol.

Now it's time to bust my butt and lose those last 22 lbs, I won a free outdoor photo shoot for the family and I desperately want to be at goal and feeling comfortable in my own skin before the shoot :)

How did you measure your inches? From Aug 2010 when my doc took my measurements, I am down 19.75 I was around 215 then am now 179. Just wondering what I'm doing wrong lol. I only measured one side, am I supposed to measure both sides?

Raine-I probably go a little overboard with my measurements as I like to see what the numbers are in all the major areas. And I find differences in what I have lost between each leg and arm.

I measure my head, neck, left arm, right arm, bust, under bust, waist, stomach, hips, left thigh, right thigh, left calf and right calf. Hope that helps :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
