Ian's 1 Month Progress

Yesterday (July 3rd) was my husband's 1 month "surgaversary" :) We took his new photos and measurements as well. He has lost 26 pounds in his first month! He also lost a total of 22 3/4" off his body!! This was impressive. Almost as many inches and I lost in my first month even though he didn't lose as much weight... so it's quite obvious his body is changing! With his permission I am sharing the progress pics. :)

Similar to me, he did one set in a shirt he wore frequently at his starting weight and another set in a shirt that was way too tight on him at the time and is now fitting much better.


I found it interesting that he lost most of his inches in the chest/waist area just like me, and very little below the waist, just like me. Huh. I guess that is just where it comes off first!

Great progress for the 1st month. I can't even imagine where both of us will be in a year.

Additionally, we had a couple pictures taken of us last night at a BBQ. The last time we had a closeup shot taken of us before surgery was at his grandpa's 80th birthday party. You can see a HUGE difference in both of us I think.

  4. You're both doing wonderfully. I initially lost inches in my neck and waist...my chest followed - then again, I didn't have much of a chest to start with! ;-)

    GREAT JOB!

  5. Hi Christie, I'm not sure how I stumbled on your blog, but I'm bookmarking it! I'm having gastric bypass in a few weeks, and even though your surgery is different, I enjoyed reading about your progess, what you ate, your clothes, and your exercising. I have a lot of activities that I hope to be able to participate in after I lose weight, and your 5K was really inspirational! I hope you and your hubby continue to do well. My husband is thinking of doing it also.

    Cheers,
    Lisa
