good job losing the inches. I have no idea how many inches per pound, but I hhave a feeling that you have probebly gotten close to losing the 57 pounds they require you to. I think it is a good idea to go to your dietician a few days ahead of time and weigh in, so you know how you area doing. Good Luck to you!!

I don't think there's any mathematical way to equate inches lost with pounds lost. BUT, I think you are doing great! And you've probably met or surpassed that 57 lbs. you're trying to lose. All you can do is stick to that diet and try your best. Congratulations on that 72 inches lost...please keep us informed on how well you're doing! Hugs, Joy

Hi April. That's so awesome to hear about the inches melting away pre-op! I do have one thought if you don't have an option to get weighed before going to see your surgeon. How about taking a diuretic the last 10 days to two weeks before your date? That way if there's any question about the amount of your weight loss being border line you could lose some water weight too. Just a thought. And again, congrats!

Congratulations April! You should be so proud of yourself. That is a lot of inches lost! I am not sure either what that equates to weight wise. I have lost about 45 lbs and around 25 inches...I started 295lbs. pre op about 6 weeks ago. You have probably already lost quite a bit! Well...if you ever want to chat...I just had my 26th birthday too...so we may have something in common. Just click on my profile for my email. Have a great day!!!
