Measurements!

[Clark Griswold 58]

So had my VGS surgery on 13th June and have been keeping track of my measurements since about the 3rd of July 2024. Low waist included, as I am male and I wear most of my trousers/jeans low. Waist high is measured above my hips.

3rd July:

• Chest = 52 inches
• Neck = 19 inches
• Waist (high) = 51 inches
• Waist (low) = 53 inches
• Thigh = 31 inches
• Bicep = 18 inches

27 August

• Chest = 50 inches (-2)
• Neck = 18 inches (-1)
• Waist (high) = 47 inches (-4)
• Waist (low) = 50 inches (-3)
• Thigh = 28 inches (-3)
• Bicep = 15.5 inches (-2.5)

So in total that's 15.5 inches lost since around 3 weeks after surgery. This has been especially useful given weight loss has slowed to around 2-3 lbs per week, and is a great motivator for me 😊

Anyone else tracking measurements?

I was planning on making the exact same measurements post yesterday but I fell asleep 😂 This has reminded me to do so when I get home!

This is really amazing though! I bet you are chuffed!
