Wow! Measurements Are Telling A Different Story...

I am so thankful that I took my measurements prior to surgery. While watching the scale go down has been gratifying, I just did measurements again for the first time in 3 weeks. Since before surgery I have lost a total of 14.5 inches from everywhere…and that seems impossible.

Why is this a big deal? Because I am noooooooot quite into the next size down. Don't get me wrong; I can see that I have more room in my clothing, but actually measuring is showing me how close I am to making that move. And that gives me hope and motivation! I mean, I could squeeze into the next size down but nobody needs to see that. Now I'm happy to put those jeans back in the closet and try them on again next week.

4 weeks here and I'm on the fifth hole in my belt. I was on the first hole when this started. And I really notice clothing isnt grabbing in the armpit and crotch area. That's the best feeling!!!

Are you working out more than you did before? I know that when ever I started to go on bike rides every night after my surgery I stopped losing for a while. My legs feel a lot more powerful than they did before. I know that the more you exercise the more muscles you gain. It makes us daily weighers suffer on the scales lol.

Bigbeaz, I get to go back to CrossFit this week, so I fully expect the scale and probably my bicep and thigh measurements to go up again. Even so, I'm glad I have a baseline and can compare. Today with the tape measurer it was the first time I could actually see a difference!

yeah, I am starting to regret not measuring myself. I can really tell I've lost 55 lbs but most of it is in my arms and legs so I can really tell that much in my mid section. I know the next 50 will be drastic.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
