My pants are falling off, yet I do not show a budge on the scale- How does this happen?

February 19, 2014- had surgery- not perfect eater, but try and get in all my Protein and Water

My body keeps shifting every so many months. I usually gain weight or hold weight in my stomach, when I lose, it is not always in the stomach, so then I feel really fat again because my stomach protrudes. The I will lose in the stomach and feel more proportionate. The it starts all over again, Now I have lost weight, my pants fall off, but I still have a bigger stomach. Does this happen to anyone else? In the beginning I lost all boobs, but they are fine now. The only other problem is I have hair loss. I have stalls, but then a week or so later I drop several pounds, so I don't call them stalls anymore.

that is reality that you are losing (actual weight)...the scale is not a great almighty to if a person is losing. however clothes sizes are...great job......i see no worrying needed on your part..your body loses as your body sees fit..even if the scale hardly moves, or not at all, the WLS we have and our body is still working..stay the course and as you wrote, the pounds are coming off

I love losing inches....It is so great when you go a size down in clothing...Makes me really excited no matter what the scale says!

Just keep swimming, your doing great!!!!!!!!!

And that's why people shouldn't let the numbers on the scale dictate how they feel. I actually gained 3 pounds between weeks 6 and 10 but lost a whole pant size. My boobs have shrunk immensely and I have no butt (I've NEVER not had a butt) so even as I lose weight, I'm no longer shaped " normal". But that's OK, nothing I can do about it so no sense fretting over it. No math formula or dietician's plan can explain what happens to our bodies, so just keep doing what you are doing because it's obviously working.
