So between pre op diet / surgery / post op diet I've lost about 32lbs& I can't tell.. not even in my face. I can still wear the same pants.. Same shirts. Anybody else? I started out 270& now I'm 238..

Is me not drinking enough Water gonna make a difference in this? I'm trying to force myself to reach my Water goals; Very hard since I was never much of a drinker anyways.. of anything.

The larger your starting size, the longer it takes to see a difference and to drop clothing sizes.

You need to lose 40-50 pounds to go from a size 3x to a 2x. You need to lose 10-15 pounds to go from a size 8 to a 6.

Believe me, once you hit Onderland, it'll become quite noticeable and the sizes will fly by.

Just keep doing what you are supposed to be doing. One day you will look at yourself and say, "Wow, when did that happen!?!"

I am the same way. Even with the Water. But other people are noticing. What you could do, I am not sure if you did this before your surgery is take your measurements. I took mine right around my surgery and then again around my 6 week mark and it showed me I had actually lost a total of 33/34 inches total! It really helps you stay on track and shows you that you really are losing and not just weight

When I retired July 2014 I weighed 360. Tried to loose on my own and was 325 when I started process June 2016. B4 surgery I was 279. Went to get pants taken in and was told they could not reduce them by 9 inches. Bought new jeans and went from size 56 to 48.

I was at 221 today I weigh 199, I was sleeved on 12/8, and I don't see a difference when I look in the mirror, but my clothes say otherwise, I've cleaned out my closet once already, I still wear some clothes I wore before my sleeve, and I feel they fit the same, but my family says otherwise.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
