Down 8 1/4 inches in 2 weeks!



Recommended Posts

My sister came over to help me mesure today. I have to say I was amazed that I am down 8 1/4 inches in 2 weeks! That is sure a great feeling! Oh and to get on a normal scale and weigh myself what a wonderful feeling!:)

Congratulations! That is amazing. I REALLY wish I would've measured before I had surgery, but I avoided all cameras and tape measures.:) Keep up the great work.:)

Hey that is great! Do you by any chance know how many pounds you lost to equal those 8.25 inches? Im just curious.

Anyways, congrats!!

Congrats! Good for you! Measuring yourself is the smartest thing anyone can do because that way if you don't lose lbs that week at least you usually can say you lost an inch or two.

conratulations--that is awesome! :thumbdown::smile2:My surgeons office actually gave me a big three ring binder of information before my surgery. One of the things in there was a measurement spreadsheet for all parts of your body. It is awesome. I took my measurements the night before my surgery and plan to do it once a month (that's what they recommended). I couldn't wait any longer than yesterday so after 3 weeks I've lost 3 inches in my waist. For me, that was just so wonderful! I never really understood about the whole inches lost thing. I've only lost 13 pounds since my surgery.

Keep up the good work--I hope to enjoy shopping somewhere besides lane bryant as well.

      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.
