Weight dropping but measurements not??

So I'm losing weight pretty consistently (43 lbs down since surgery), and my clothes are getting bigger, but my measurements are not changing?? They have dropped some, but they have not changed in the last 20 lbs or so that I've lost!!

Makes no sense! Anyone else notice this?

I'm having the same problem. My measurements don't seem to be budging that much. I've been taking measurements since I started my pre op diet and I'm budging up top. I was on my loosest bra hook and I just put it on the tightest. Surgery was March 6th. Also my body fat percent isn't moving either. I work out 4 times a week for an hour. I've checked my body fat with one of those hand held devices and I'm only down 3.2% since my pre op. I'm so upset about this. I mean I don't expect it to drop overnight but I expected a little quicker. I am a revision from lap band and I was a slowish loser then too. But I felt I lost inches more. I've only lost 32# since my pre op diet.
I'm trying to up my calories and protein to try to help. Since I've only been averaging 700 calories and I don't want to kill my metabolism.


You would be surprised where you carry weight. Unless you are measuring every square inch of your body, you have most likely lost size as well.

I'm having a similar experience. I measured myself this week and was surprised that I'd actually gained inches. Not a lot, but still I thought, what??? Then yesterday I tried on a skirt and a dress that were too tight 2 weeks ago and lo and behold, they both fit!
