Size dropping w/o major weight loss?



Recommended Posts

It's been a bit over a year & I've lost a little over 100 pounds. For the last 4 to 5 months the numbers on the scale aren't significantly changing but my pants sizes are still dropping 1-2 sizes per month. I'm happy I'm still making strides but curiosity has me wondering why it's happening this way & who has similar things happening. Please share...

NSV are everywhere here - those are THE best. Like getting on a rollercoaster and not being squeezed in, getting up off the floor (without help) & clipping your own toenails! I just moved (somewhat) and I am throwing away my clothes that are starting to look a little big :D

I have stuff I've never worn that's gotten too large for me to wear that I guess I'll try & sale. Yes, love the benefits of being able to get around quicker or without as much of a hassle as before. The simplest things we'd lost the ability to achieve are now within our eye sight. I've had a pot belly for so long it's been a reliable ritual to try moving around it but the joy of moving past it has gotten easier.

I'm 9 months post-op and sitting stuck at an 85 lb. loss. The plateau has lasted two months and I'm about over it . . . BUT, pants are fitting better and my waist is coming back and my hair has stopped falling out in chunks. I think my body just had to sit here for a while. I'm trying not to be discouraged . . .but I'm not seeing the 1-2 size pant drop you are seeing! Congrats--that's progress!

I'm 17 months out and that happened to me early on. Between 6 and 10 weeks Postop I actually gained 3 pounds, but lost a whole pant size. I passed goal and my weight stabilized about 9 months ago and I've dropped 1 pant size since then.

I'm going through this now. I am 7 months post op& have only lost 60 lbs.

However, the last two months I've lost 3 pounds but I went down a dress size. Weird but I'll take it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
