Measurements of Me



Recommended Posts

Before surgery, I plan to have myself measured from my neck down to my ankles and measure once a month just to see how I'm losing in inches. Its easier to buy clothes based on inches and I dont want to waste money guessing on what size I should be wearing as I lose weight

I have one question though: When I measure the breast area - is it with a bra or without a bra?

You measure with a bra, I belive.

My suggestion on the clothes issue is wait as long as you can to buy new clothes. Invest in new belts as they come in handy!

I'm only planning on getting maybe one pair of pants to match my size as I keep losing. I will keep wearing the tops. I just dont want to go to work with baggy pants on.

I'm not that much concerned about clothing. I havent bought clothes for myself in years. Everything I have is outdated.

I just wasnt sure how to measure my breast area - with bra or without bra.

Measure always with bra on because boobs are too floppy without you won't get an accurate measurement ????

I haven't bought clothes in years until I lost weight. It was hard cuz I was in the thrift store every week buying a new size.

I just put on a pair of jeans that were too tight before surgery. Now they're 6 inches too big!! Woot woot!! I have been living in dresses so I haven't really been seeing the inches that have been coming off.

Alright! I bought a pair of size 10 "motivation" pants to hang in my closet. When I don't want to work out, there they'll be!

      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.
