I cannot stress enough how important is to measure yourself. I had my surgery on 11/22. I decided to take my measurements prior to pre-op diet. I am coming up on my two month anniversary on Monday. I am excited to not only go down a pant size, but more importantly seeing the numbers drop. I hope this is motivational for our post-op peeps that are struggling with bring stagnant with weight loss. I have been stuck at the same number on the scale for over a week and it finally moved a pound down today! post-308143-14847905639228_thumb.jpg

Thanks VS! ❤️! My hubby has been such a sport. ( I only think it has to do the boobs)! But seeing his face when there is a big jump is priceless! He does not allow me to look at it until he is done, but I can tell there is a major difference with his expressions!

So happy to help V! You can try to guesstimate it by measuring your biggest pair of paints that you used to wear and measure a shirt that you use to wear or maybe still wear and put that against the measurements you have now. It may not be completely accurate, but it will give you an idea. I am going to experiment it tomorrow and see how it measure-ups. I'll let you know. I know there is tons of room now in the bigger pants where I used to fill them out.

Wow- we are close 10 days off... i have lost 27.9 lbs so far :-)! I had to go buy a few new pants... i am still struggling w/ shirt sizes.. but I fit into smaller coat sizes. Woman's cloths are so weird! I do most shopping from thrift stores cuz there is no way in hell I spending 30 to 40 bucks on jeans, and not have them fit 6 months out. I can spend that much at a thrift store and come back with a warbdrobe. Although burlington and foreman mills have decent prices that I don't mind.

Very good idea. Wish I had done that. I had the sleeve in October of 2015. For about 8 months now, I've stayed around 165, but my pants size has continued to get smaller. Would've been nice to have seen the numbers as well.

Yes I said the same thing about inches VS weight loss I can tell in my inches more than weight I'm fitting clothes I couldn't get into a few months ago and I can tell in my face and other parts of my body that I'm slimming down..????

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
