Pounds and Inches...



Recommended Posts

I am 3 weeks out. Lost 8 pounds on my 2 week pre-op diet and another 12.5 since my surgery on December 22nd. I lost that 12.5 pounds probaly the first week after surgery and nothing since. Everyone keeps telling me I am probaly losing inches now even though my weight is not dropping. My questions is if I am not really back at exercising...is it even possible to lose inches during this time when the scale refuses to move??

Hi, my biggest loss in inches happens when I'm stalled. I do get a bit frustrated with the numbers on the scale like most. I use clothes to keep me on track during the stalls. staying with my nutrition and fitness plan is important.

      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.
