A vent about where I'm losing inches from...



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else have the issue of losing inches from some parts of your body, and it being lost on other parts at a snails pace? My face is thinner, I lost inches in my bust and thighs. But it is slowly and stubbornly staying on my hips and belly. I could definitely wear pants 1-2 sizes smaller if it weren't for the belly (sure, I could squeeze in and have a muffin top, but I can't bring myself to do that). And the worst part about it is that clothes just aren't looking good. All my clothes sag and bag from my butt down and just hang from my neck to my waist. Not flattering at all. Don't get me wrong, I am THRILLED that I am losing, but it just stinks that it doesn't come off nicely. And I don't want to wear yoga pants forever!!

My belly is shrinking but my hips are staying put. I have some stuff that you can fit both my hands into the waist plus have room but the hips still fit great. Hate it!

Give it time ladies. .. things will smooth out and even out in time, especially during stalls or periods of no weight loss. Your body tends to be healing and settling during those times. Hang in there

Try doing some isolating exercises for those areas.. Sweat it off ladies. Being skinny fat is so not sexy you need to build up some muscle under that fluff.. Strength training has been a life saver for me..

      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! 😞
