Today is my one month surgiversary. Before surgery, I lost 12 pounds on my two week pre-op diet, took photos and measurements. As of today, I've lost a total of 39 pounds (that includes the two week pre-op diet). Yay!
I was, however, having a difficult time actually seeing the difference. Sure, some of my tops seemed looser, but I just couldn't see it in the mirror. Following the advice of many on here, I took my measurements today. I've lost a total of 14.25 inches so far!! There you go...now I know those 39 pounds are actually gone.
If you don't see the difference, measure. Seriously. You may be as surprised as I.
Thank you to everyone for all the great advice...including "measure, measure, measure!" You guys are the best!
