mrsblues 81 Posted January 6, 2013 You will still have some surgery swelling going on. I had my surgery on 12/04/12 and I am just now noticing how much looser my clothes are becoming. I took measurements before surgery and just checked my measurements yesterday and lost two inches in all areas except for hips where I lost 4 inches. I would rather not step on the scale because too many things can interfere with weight day-to-day, and I don't need that stress. I am satisfied to feel health improvements and notice changes in other ways. Continued success to you, we are the masters of this terrific tool called surgery. Use it wisely and it won't disappoint. I have to avoid carbs because I was diabetic going into this and am no longer taking any diabetic meds now. Carbs will continue to wreak havoc on my overall success and so I avoid them. Can't wait to add fruits (my sugar of choice) to my diet and just recently started an exercise program..... Congrats, and keep your chin up, it will all fall into place, just stay to your program!

I actually went up two sizes. It will start going soon. Then you will wish you didnt have to keep trying different sizes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
