INCHES OR WEIGHT?



Recommended Posts

What do you lose first INCHES or WEIGHT? ME personally I lose INCHES quicker than weight... the pic on the left was 9/2/17 and the pic on the right is from today 9/12/17 PhotoGrid_1505257021444.jpg

I lost weight first but then during stalls inches. I am so glad I measured both, it helped when I hit those stalls to see the other numbers going down.

Both at the same time. Then with stalls, during a stall I lose inches. Which is why people should take their measurements every week, or at least once a month. Weight, stall, inches, weight. Rinse and repeat that has been the pattern the whole time. I wouldn't know that if I didn't track. Tracking helps you not panic because you understand what is going on.

I'm 4 months out... I notice my weight loss more than what the scale is saying so while I'm definitely losing weight (about 10lbs a month) I can really see the inches. I recently compared a picture of me a month ago to now and it was only a 6lb difference but my body looks completely different despite "just losing" 6lbs because of the inches I lost.

How long do your stalls last?

Proof that the # on scale isn't the end all, be all because I definitely see a change in the 2nd pic. :)


- No idea what I'm doing but I'm here! :)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
