So I'm officially 1 month post-op in 4days, and it feels great! I am down 23 pounds. Today I was playing around with some of my old clothes and amazingly I could fit them pretty well. I've noticed that I'm losing inches faster than pounds: has anyone noticed that they're losing inches faster than pounds as well? Let me know what you all think.

Congratulations !! My surgery isn't until tomorrow so I can't help much, but I prefer inches over pounds any day of the week.

Good luck!

That's awesome!! Are you keeping track of your measurements? JW. Congrats!!!

Me too! I'm down 25 lbs, but it feels like so much more because of inches lost. I am 3 weeks out and my pre surgery clothes are falling off! Luckily I saved a lot of tight clothes, and am fitting in stuff I haven't worn in years! My scale hasn't moved much this past week, but it's ok. I know changes are happening.

I've noticed I am also losing inches more than pounds which is awesome. I officially track my measurements once a month but have been sneaking waist measurements here and there and am down about 5 inches since the morning of surgery less than two weeks ago. woohoo

Wow. 5 inches in two weeks??? That's amazing! I'll take inches over pounds any day.

I used to train martial arts and weight training-- and I don't go by the scale as much as I do how I look and how clothes fit. When training, I weighed 168 but LOOKED like I weighed 140.

So don't put a lot of focus on the scales. How your clothes fit will tell all.

Congrats !!!

I can't wait to have the inches falling off.

I too am losing inches and wearing clothes that were too small before. Haven't taken measurements so I will continue to enjoy the clothes to help measure my success. Prefer to scale anyday.

Congrats-- me too I fell like I lost inches more than weight now I feel like I'm at a stall

I'm finding the same!????

I saved some clothes from before I had gained all of this weight. Thrilled to be shopping again and not hating trying on clothes. And was in XL and not in 2X any more! ????

You know what I can't wait for? Not having clothes in your closet you know for a fact you will never fit into again because it's way too big!!! Congrats on your weight loss!! Keep up the good work.

I have my first surgical appointment this week so I'm not at the same place you guys are but I'm hoping I lose inches over kilos first. I think I read it was better for excess skin?

Well done and looking forward to reading more.
