No pounds but see the difference



Recommended Posts

Gm bandsters,

I woke up this morning and decided to weigh myself but low and behold no lbs lost. Eveytime I look in the mirror I see a difference in my shape. Looks smaller to me but why aren't those lbs dropping? Does this happen to anyone? Surgery date Feb 21, 13 lost 15 lbs then back up 4lbs. What's going on?.

your losing weight

just because the scale isnt moving (or up one day)

doesnt mean you are not losing as you obviously are (by looking at your pretty self in the mirror). to me, and my opinion only, losing inches means more to me that what a scales finicky variances say....if your clothes are looser, then yep you are losing. (it could be up by TOM, sodium, not drinking enough, who knows)...congrats on doing a great job

It's such a roller coaster ride if you only rely on the scale to determine your success. Don't let the numbers frustrate you! It may take a while, but you'll get where you want to be! Good luck and don't let the scale mess with your head!!!

I had to learn to do the same thing. I was watching the scale to much and not focusing on the overall me. This is a lifestyle change that we have to be committed to so if the scale is not moving i still get satisfaction in my clothes being looser or wearing something i could not before

Grat job! Sometimes your body needs to catch up. It is a really good thing to keep track of your measurements!

If inches are gone weight will catch up! No worries.

I have a pair of jeans I try on once a week...Saturday morning. They are my benchmark to how I am doing on this journey.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
