73/4 inches lost

I'm 21/2 weeks post surgery, and for 5 days I've been stuck at the same weight.  So today I measured myself to compare with the figures pre-surgery.  I've lost 73/4 inches, and I forgot to measure my hips pre-surgery.  Yippee!!

Nice. Inches is still a big loss in my book.

Thanks, Tina.  I was so discouraged this morning when I got weighed.  I am really relieved that inches are coming off even when pounds aren't.:)

Hey, MM, I'm a slow loser, and older.  When my weight loss for last month was 5lbs (my least since banding) I was not happy with myself.  But when my daughter said today, "You know ,Mom, I can really see the weight loss now." My heart soared.  Those NSV"s are very important!

Yeah, you!!!  It's so nice that your daughter noticed!!!!  It  can really make your day when someone notices!

Go find a pair of pants that fit before surgery and measure them for your baseline.

Or I used the size chart at Catherine's for my baseline.  :)

I purposely did not measure pre-surgery.. was afraid it would throw me into a deep depression.  

Good idea, Lisa.  What is Catherine's? Thanks for the help.
