Last week was week 4 for me...other than the l-b's dropping, I was sure to TAKE MEASUREMENTS! So, here's my stats: I'm 5'6", 33, Female, starting weight and measurements taken at 2-week pre-op date. I took a TON of measurements...everything that I wanted to see a change in, but here are the highlights:

3.11.11 5.1.11

weight 255 221

neck 15 14

bust 50 46

underbust 44.5 39

waist 45 40

belly button 50 45

panni (ugh) 53.5 48

hips 51 47

thigh 30 28

calf 16.5 15.5

upper arm 17 15

above elbow 13.5 11.5

Total inches LOST FOREVER: 37"!!!

This was some of the BEST advice I've received, it's so nice to not only see the numbers on the scale...but these numbers just make it all worth it!!

I misread the original post as 5' 3". At 5' 6" we really are almost identical in starting stats. Awesome!

Congrats! I think I may start measuring myself as well, that seems like it would be way better to do than staring at the scale all day lol. :D

Yay for you!!! That's great to see numbers like that!

I know my surgeon's nurse took my measurements the first time I met with her. think I'm going to request to see them so I can start measuring myself too and watch those inches melt away!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
