Losing inches!!

So, I'm a little over four weeks post-op and have lost twenty pounds since surgery, fifteen of which was in the first week. I was a little down at not losing anything for three weeks straight... but I measured my waist on impulse this morning and I'm two inches less than a month ago!? I don't even know if that's normal, but I'm rather pleased with it.

Just felt like sharing the happy today. :)

    Losing inches is almost better than weight ... at least I think so.

i also noted a greater loss in belly inches in the months when my weight loss was the lowest, always found that odd.

I agree. My situation is very similar. I continue to lose more inches when my weight isn't reflective on the scale.

Congrats on your inches!!
