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'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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
