New pant size, no lost weight - How does this happen?



Recommended Posts

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

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
