I think at the end of the day that's the best victory. No one knows how much you weigh so losing inches is way better win in my book. Nice job Elode! It's pretty amazing that you can lose that much on just a calf in such a short amount of time.

Have a great day-

LA

@@SeahawksFan I concur! I have large thick calves (that I've always HATED) so I was actually hoping for a little more than that but I will take it! Someday I will be able to zip up boots over them!

Congrats on your progress! That is awesome! Not taking measurements was my only regret from surgery. I even asked my surgeon if they had them and they said no. Oh well. I think it's a great idea and a great way to remind yourself of progress!

Excellent idea, and finding losses elsewhere is so much easier for my fragile ego. I need to measure myself, as I haven't done that since right before surgery. Wore my size 14 pants yesterday, down from 20W only 2 months ago, and they felt so wonderful. No thigh chafing! We have to snag (and celebrate) our victories wherever we can find them!

I'll get weighed at the doctor's next week however I did my measurements today's and I am down 3 -4 inches in neck, waist, & hips. I didn't measure my boob last time but I was in a rush this morning and grabbed an old bra by mistake. It's a C cup and fits perfectly. Pre surgery the bras I was buying were DD's.

      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.
