Incredible shrinking legs

[jujube 42]

I had surgery 2/18. I am losing weight but I feel it is all in my legs. I think I have lost two pant sizes in my legs but my stomach is still the same size. I can barely button my pre surgery jeans but they are sagging in the butt and legs. I have to keep the top button unbuttoned. Is this normal? Is my stomach still bloated?

Yes, you may still be bloated. I had a similar loss pattern to you. (Are you an apple-shape too?) I lost weight in my face, neck, shoulders and arms at first. My gut seemed to stay the same. It is definitely smaller now, but it took a while for my pants size to drop.

Mine went:

Chest - Legs - Arms - Face - Chest - Legs - Hips - Belly - Ad infinitum

Belly appears to be the last thing shrinking. I'm all good with that if it catches up with the rest of me!

My stomach was swollen and sore post op for more than a month. I didn't even wear pants around the house. Just a gown and robe. I did wear stretchy pants outside

Jujube, I was sleeved on Feb. 10th and my weight loss has all been from the waist up. I can't tell that I've lost anything in my behind or legs. I'm ready to quit losing in the chest... omg, I hope I'm left with something there!!! I've just recently started exercising so maybe the bottom half of my body will start the weight loss process too. Good luck.

I was sleeved 2/3 and have noticed my thighs and but are def losing the most weight/ inches! Hopefully it will all catch up and even out! Also, my abdomen still feels bloated and I'm a month out, not as much as before, but not soft and squishy like before lol.

Picture an Apple on toothpicks. That's how I feel like I look. This stomach of mine is like steele on the outside and mush on the inside!

Yeah I'd agree you may still be bloated/swollen. Your body will hold Fluid the fluid as its way of healing. Just give it time. Congrats on your success thus far enjoy the journey.

I went legs boobs face back butt legs belly back face legs face belly face- not really sure where the loses are going from now as I haven’t noticed whats smaller so maybe a little all over maybe more belly I don’t know lol
I was a major apple allllllllllll belly boobs back smaller legs only towards the end did I have a bit of a butt I think I had very little place to keep gaining so my thighs and butt seemed to gain more towards the end for me.
It’s a little funny because if your legs are not very big to begin with suddenly the weight going form them makes the upper body look so much bigger!
Kind of like a fun house mirror effect!
