Oh My! Twenty Five Inches!

AlysonRR · January 28, 2008

I was banded 12/18 but I did my pre-op measurements on 12/3, just before starting two weeks of pre-op Medifast. My husband just measured me again, and I've lost 25.5 inches since 12/3!!!

I'm measuring 14 places (neck, upper arms, lower arms, thighs, calves, chest, bust, underbust, waist, hips) and I've lost around 35 lb. I haven't started exercising yet, but I will soon because I want to see those numbers keep going down!!!

it's exciting to see those changes, isn't it? have you taken any pictures?

i've dropped 24.5 inches and 42 pounds. i took a picture on 12/31/07 and one last night...and i can really see the difference.

yay! it's really happening!

I took pictures before starting the pre-op diet and again just after my first fill. I don't know if I'll ever share them - I wanted to be sure to see differences, so I wore an athletic bra and lycra capris - every bulge is visible! But yes, I can tell a difference, particularly in my face. I'm looking forward to my second fill next week as I've plateaued.

Thanks for the comments!

Awesome job! I have noticed some differences in my face, but no one else seems to yet. That's OK, I have just started this journey and I know it will be obvious soon!
