I can't believe I've lost a total of 39 inches in 4 months and I started measuring after I lost 20lbs!

Congrats! Those are awesome numbers!! It's likely you've lost at least 43". I just measured myself this weekend to see where I'm at (I haven't even seen my doctor yet about a referral). I cried. I've never been this big. Or maybe I was but I never had a reason to measure myself. I expected I had a 42" waist. My waist is 50"! 50! I couldn't believe it. I didn't think about measuring my calves of chest though. And I also measured my neck lol.

I probably had a 50 inch waist before I actually started measuring! But it's okay. What seemed so far away prepping for 7 months before surgery numerous doctors appointments, losing my old job because if it was all worth it for me! I have never felt better!

Feeling better makes it all worth it! I am being patient. I know I have a long way up hill right now. I'm surprisingly patient. lol. I'm trying to convince my sister to do this with me but I think she doesn't think she will lose much. I hope she changes her mind. It would be nice to have someone close to go thru this with.

That's what this site is great for! Patience is key! I wanted to give up a few times, I felt like I had so many medical clearance requirements and having a full time job, 3 kids 5 and under seemed impossible but I pushed through it. I finally did something for myself and you can do it! Don't get discouraged by the numbers!

One of the main reasons I had the surgery was when my 5 year old daughter asked me innocently why Her and her sisters and my husband's bodies were "straight" and mine was "bumpy". That was my confirmation that I needed to commit to this surgery.

@@FayBee kids are so blatant in such an innocent way, but I think sometimes we need it. I have 1 six year old and my other kids range from 21-12. I wish I would have had the surgery sooner so that they grew up seeing me active instead of a couch potato lol. But everything happens for a reason. I wasn't as savvy about health back then and I probably would have sabotaged myself.
