Measure and see the difference! I did!



Recommended Posts

Hi you guys!

I wanted to share this with you because I am so excited and want to encourage you to measure yourself if you are not already doing it. Its never to late to start!!!

My name is Deb, I had my sleeve done on June 6th I lost 20 lbs in the first 15 days (weird from what ive heard) but not much since another 6 lbs and I found myself being a little discouraged even though in my head I know that really that is incredible but I am an instant gratification person and always want more and right now (probably reason for getting fat in the first place) but anyway...

This morning the scale wasn't cooperating with me but I kept looking in the mirror as I would pass by and I could see a difference so I decided to measure myself, someone had suggested it on here I believe so I had measured before surgery and boy am I glad I did!!!!

I have lost 1 inch on my neck, 2.5 on my bust, 3 on my hips, 3 on my waist!!!!!!!!

I have my friend measure me every month. And I chart it. It is great during slowdowns on the scale. Congrats!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
