not losing inches?

[tnf0920 11]

I haven't lost any inches on my legs or arms and it's extremely annoying. How long was it before you started losing there?

I think it's all individual and how you carry your weight. I'm only 2.5 weeks out and already down 2" on my thighs (where I carry a lot of weight.) If you're more an apple shape, you may lose it off your abdomen first.

I have a week where I lose weight on the scale but clothes feel the same and then I don't see the scale move and can get into clothing from 2007....it varies for me:D

There are several factors which can affect this, your muscle, skin, where your body stores fat depends on cortisol and other hormones. You can't spot reduce (if you could, you would see huge difference between Serena Williams racket/non racket arms), but staying hydrated, protein/diet and exercise will eventually get the inches off.

I'm losing inches, it's just been all in the middle area which I'm not complaining about, I love it. I just wish something would happen in the other areas too.

I'm 3 and a half months out

I will be 5 months out 7/20, I have lost inches everywhere but my hips. I've gone from a DD cup to a C cup. I went from a 26/28 women's down to a 14. But these hip are hanging on for dear life. They have lost a few inches but nothing compared to the rest of my body.

DOS 2/20 Wt. was 267, today 198. I think it's just a natural thing with WLS patients to be impatient with losing weight/inches. FYI, I'm a horrible Protein drinker, can't stand the stuff. but for the last couple of days I have forced it down my throat.

2½mos after surgery I developed blood clots in both lungs and pneumonia in the left lung which delayed my workout routine. When I was jogging/walking everyday for at least a mile, the inches were melting away. Now I'm at a stand still. Have started exercising vigorously again this past week.
