One month surgiversary - measurements!



Recommended Posts

Hey all! I was sleeved on Jan 23, 2018. Yesterday was my one month surgiversary! Hubby took measurements for me a couple days prior to surgery and redid them last night to see how things have progressed beyond the scale. Woo hoo! We've got a good start going! Not sure why we went metric, but here's the results:

2 cm off belly/waist

6 cm off hips - YASSS!!! Explains why pants are seriously baggy

4 cm off bust

3 cm off neck - who knew I was carrying so much fat around my neck?

2 cm off rt arm

1 cm off right calf

2 cm off right thigh

So thrilled with this! I can't wait to see what the numbers look like on Mar 23! My coats and jackets and clothes are getting big. It's still winter, so cold winds blowing up under loose jackets is becoming a problem! I did score a new fleece jacket for only $15 on a clearance sale today. It's way too small yet, but I will get there soon!

That's so awesome. How do you feel after the one month? Are you feeling back to normal?

About 7 weeks out now. Drinking Water more like a nornal person and eating more like 1/2 cup instead of 1/4 mist if the time. Other than eating restrictions I feel pretty nornal.

      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.

      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.
