Uneven weight loss



Recommended Posts

I'm 10 days post op. I have lost 45 lbs between pre op low carb diet and post op liquid to purée diet.

In spite of a 45 lb loss, I am still the same pant size! I've lost two shirt sizes. My face looks thinner. I can't wear my wedding ring because it's too loose. My bra cups are too loose. I look funny in my same size pants because my legs are thinner. It's just so unfair!

I'm just whining. I know someday the mid girth will give up the fight and start shrinking.

Meanwhile, anyone else experience this kind of loss?

My weight has some off the places that it was easiest to lose first. Legs, upper torso, above shoulders. My stomach where the bulk of my weight is, has "lost the slowest". That isn't really true, it just has the most to lose. Now that I am almost done, almost all the weight I am losing comes off my lower stomach.

Hang in there, it get better. Just keep losing.

I definitely have this same problem. My top size has dropped 3 sizes but my pants have only dropped 1-2. I think it's because I have so much extra skin already hanging around my stomach that I need a bigger size.

Highest weight: 540

5/29/16 Surgery weight: 480

Current weight:335

This freaked me out too but someone pointed out that swelling with surgery was normal and that would be that last area to respond. I was losing from middle by 1 month post op.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
