Measurements of Me



Recommended Posts

Before surgery, I plan to have myself measured from my neck down to my ankles and measure once a month just to see how I'm losing in inches. Its easier to buy clothes based on inches and I dont want to waste money guessing on what size I should be wearing as I lose weight

I have one question though: When I measure the breast area - is it with a bra or without a bra?

You measure with a bra, I belive.

My suggestion on the clothes issue is wait as long as you can to buy new clothes. Invest in new belts as they come in handy!

I'm only planning on getting maybe one pair of pants to match my size as I keep losing. I will keep wearing the tops. I just dont want to go to work with baggy pants on.

I'm not that much concerned about clothing. I havent bought clothes for myself in years. Everything I have is outdated.

I just wasnt sure how to measure my breast area - with bra or without bra.

Measure always with bra on because boobs are too floppy without you won't get an accurate measurement ????

I haven't bought clothes in years until I lost weight. It was hard cuz I was in the thrift store every week buying a new size.

I just put on a pair of jeans that were too tight before surgery. Now they're 6 inches too big!! Woot woot!! I have been living in dresses so I haven't really been seeing the inches that have been coming off.

Alright! I bought a pair of size 10 "motivation" pants to hang in my closet. When I don't want to work out, there they'll be!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
