So, I'm a little over four weeks post-op and have lost twenty pounds since surgery, fifteen of which was in the first week. I was a little down at not losing anything for three weeks straight... but I measured my waist on impulse this morning and I'm two inches less than a month ago!? I don't even know if that's normal, but I'm rather pleased with it.

Just felt like sharing the happy today. :)

i also noted a greater loss in belly inches in the months when my weight loss was the lowest, always found that odd.

I agree. My situation is very similar. I continue to lose more inches when my weight isn't reflective on the scale.

Losing inches is almost better than weight ... at least I think so.

I was amazed ... I was so focused on the scale and then one day WHAM holy moly inches had fallen off of waist and chest. Oh and the butt?? Don’t remember when that went but it’s gone lol. For me it was the constant pant sizes dropping .... literally every 2 weeks I needed new pants haha

Congrats on your inches!!

      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.
