How big are your arms?



Recommended Posts

Sorry xxlaynexx,

I didn't mean to exclude you. A brach is brachioplasty (I hoped I spelled that right), which is plastic surgery on your arms.

Sorry to be anal. But I had to fix it because I was at 35 lbs lost when my arms were that size. I'm down 13 more lbs since then - they are probably smaller, but I don't have a measurement, yet. Just wanted the numbers to reflect accurately for my weight vs arm size.

Perfect Steph! I waffled on that. I was taking people's weights off their ticker. I understand your logic. Glad you fixed the chart.

I forgot to measure my arms when I started this journey... But after losing 43 lbs it all seems to have mostly come from my lower body, and my boobs. the arms seem to be the same to me, hubby says they seem a little smaller... But I just measured them and they are 15...

Hello - thanks for the invite Foofy lol :)

I'm not entirely sure of my current measurement so I will retake that when I get home. My arms were several inches bigger than now but I didn't take starting measurements - not sure why (guess a little more denial there).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
