Losing weight on one side?!?!

[_telia_ 10]

Hey there. I am 5 weeks post-op and down a total of 40 pounds. I've noticed that it seems like I'm only losing weight on my left side when it comes to my stomach area. Everywhere else looks normal, except for my tummy. Anyone else experience this?!

Nope, but I think it will equal out. I base this on studies of tennis players. You would expect their service arm to be significantly different than the other. Not true. It will be fine in the long run barring anything completely unexpected.

@_telia_- BTW, great job. Down 40 pounds is no small accomplishment. And one that should be celebrated.

Thanks!! ☺️ My life is amazing. I have no clue why I waited this long!

Most of that is probably still residual swelling from surgery. It will even out eventually.

My right leg is shrinking faster than my left (and my left has been larger than my right for a long time anyway). I don't think there is a predictable way we lose weight in the short term. I happen to believe that one of the reasons we have stalls, is so our body can redistribute our fat.

What are you guys doing to lose weight this quick? I am 2 weeks out and I feel as if I hit a stall. I am still on full liquids.

Please do not compare yourself with other people.

You will hit a stall about three weeks after surgery.

Just focus on getting in all your Protein and fluids and stay off the scale!

I walk 30-45 mins a day. I am also a teacher, so I am on the move all day. Just getting all my Protein and liquids in everyday.

Well done my dear, well done!

I continue to stick to the plan and keep hope alive. Still no movements since week 2 when I lost 20lbs. I am at week 6. So a 1 month stall??? Very worried but trusting the process.

I don't think I lost it only on one side, but I do think I have always been uneven. My plastic surgeon says everyone is. As I lost weight, it became more pronounced. I had plastics, and I'm still uneven. My right leg is bigger than my left, so I'm going to have a little more plastics to even them out. It drives me crazy because my pant leg is always tight on my right leg!
