Down 8 1/4 inches in 2 weeks!



Recommended Posts

My sister came over to help me mesure today. I have to say I was amazed that I am down 8 1/4 inches in 2 weeks! That is sure a great feeling! Oh and to get on a normal scale and weigh myself what a wonderful feeling!:)

Congratulations! That is amazing. I REALLY wish I would've measured before I had surgery, but I avoided all cameras and tape measures.:) Keep up the great work.:)

Hey that is great! Do you by any chance know how many pounds you lost to equal those 8.25 inches? Im just curious.

Anyways, congrats!!

Congrats! Good for you! Measuring yourself is the smartest thing anyone can do because that way if you don't lose lbs that week at least you usually can say you lost an inch or two.

conratulations--that is awesome! :thumbdown::smile2:My surgeons office actually gave me a big three ring binder of information before my surgery. One of the things in there was a measurement spreadsheet for all parts of your body. It is awesome. I took my measurements the night before my surgery and plan to do it once a month (that's what they recommended). I couldn't wait any longer than yesterday so after 3 weeks I've lost 3 inches in my waist. For me, that was just so wonderful! I never really understood about the whole inches lost thing. I've only lost 13 pounds since my surgery.

Keep up the good work--I hope to enjoy shopping somewhere besides lane bryant as well.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
