Hey that was thinking the same thing this morning. I am loosing weight everywhere else but it feels like my stomach stays the same. I hate that, dont like the way my pants look with this big stomach!

What I've always heard is that the body loses weight as a single unit, and there is no way to focus on a particular area. I know this seems like it could not be true when you find that you are losing weight everywhere BUT your stomach, but the exercise experts still all seem to say that you cannot target a particular area. If you do 500 crunches a day, you'll have six pack abs but they will be under a layer of fat. With the band the weight loss will continue, and eventually the stomach will lose the fat. I just don't think there is any other way.

I have found that the fat melts off from top to bottom. Don't forget your back feeds your stomach. That's what those rolls are...feeders.

Unfortunately you cant spot reduce - you have to do lots of aerobic exercise and diet to get rid of the fat on your stomach. Crunches and pilates help heaps since your midsection looks much better when its toned and strong, but like somebody said above, it will be hidden under a layer of fat.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
