Weight Loss Has Slowed But Inches Lost Have Added Up



Recommended Posts

So my weight loss has slowed I am about 183 (cant change my weight on here because my patient profile page is all alt text?) however, I did measure myself which I had not done for a bit, and I have lost exactly 60" that's SIXTY INCHES...in other words the entire tape measure. I made a circle out of it. It was the circumference of a oak tree. A large oak tree. Wow. Yuck, that's quite the load off. I get the wow you have lost some weight, or they cant remember where they know me from..it must be the minus 82 pounds and sixty inches that can transform your look a bit. I thought I would love the comments of wow you have lost weight, I don't mean to sound unappreciative, but its feels a little condescending sometimes. Geez I wasn't that big was I? Ok maybe I was..:(

Congratulations! You have done a fantastic job and I have no doubt your looking terrific!! I am the same way with the compliments. If you are losing inches then you are still losing even if it's not showing up on the scale. I would imagine since you are down to the last 40 pounds then it will come off slower but the inches keep doing the job!! :)

Congrats, seems that is the way it goes, I also thought that I was not losing but had massive inches lost during this time, Sleeved 23 July so only halfway.

      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.

      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! 😞
