How Does One Lose 2 Pants Sizes With The Scale Not Moving



Recommended Posts

I went and bought a kayak that came it said with a size large adult life vest. I put it on and said, "Hm, guess i wear a large." I took it off and the thing said "Adult Small/Medium"

Does that officially make you a skinny b***h? I think I could be underweight and still not wear a small. You guys suck. ;)

I was thrilled to put on my 22 pants the other day, then realized they're actually 24. Bah.

I have been at 263 for a bit. However , I have lost 2 pant sizes in the process. It does seem weird but hey I will take it. lol

In the midst of my love-hate relationship with the scale, I have managed to lose inches and drop a few clothes sizes...miraculously.

Skinny b***h. That's good :D . Under all this blubber I am very petite, yet a little curvy. At 5'1" and small bones I tended to wear X-Small clothes. I don't think i can go back to that though - not unless I had plastics. The boob skin isn't shrinking much, but they are deflated. I've got the skirt/apron thing going. It's not noticeable under clothes, but BAH!

I wouldn't mind a little height on me dang it!

It'll come off. We're all in the long haul. This is going to be an ongoing thing so if it takes 1 year, two years or three -- We are still smaller and healthier than before and we get to have that for the rest of our lives.

YAY sleeve!

You know what trips me out a bit. Those folks that started this journey at a 30 BMI. I;m a 30 now and feel super fit. I guess it's all relative huh?

Well, I'm tall (5'10 give or take) and I think that just means my droopy skin has farther to distort.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
