Still only see small change. Feeling bummed and down.



Recommended Posts

74 pounds is a substantial amount, so try to not be discouraged. You're doing fantastic and looking good. I bet you're wearing smaller clothes than you were this time last year, and that this time next year they'll be even smaller.

It is normal to not see much change (for quite a while) when we start out pretty heavy. Our eyes just aren't sensitive to "less fat". We just see "fat" and "fit".

You'll really start seeing the difference when you get down to wearing clothes under size 20. (I started at size 24 and am size 20 now, but people can't tell except my face).

You look amazing!

Remember you see yourself every day. Others that only see you occasionally will notice. I see quite a difference

I'm down 78 pounds in 6 months and I also don't see it. But I feel better and my son who hasn't seen me since Christmas noticed in a profile picture of mine.

So don't get discouraged.

Also, the sizes haven't gone down like I thought they would but I'm WAY more comfortable in my clothes

Even though I knew I was smaller and my body was changing I never felt a big difference until I was in normal sizes. I started at a tight 28, it was until I hit a 12 that I really felt small and successful.

Just keep losing.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
