So, I'm a little over four weeks post-op and have lost twenty pounds since surgery, fifteen of which was in the first week. I was a little down at not losing anything for three weeks straight... but I measured my waist on impulse this morning and I'm two inches less than a month ago!? I don't even know if that's normal, but I'm rather pleased with it.

Just felt like sharing the happy today. :)

i also noted a greater loss in belly inches in the months when my weight loss was the lowest, always found that odd.

I agree. My situation is very similar. I continue to lose more inches when my weight isn't reflective on the scale.

Losing inches is almost better than weight ... at least I think so.

I was amazed ... I was so focused on the scale and then one day WHAM holy moly inches had fallen off of waist and chest. Oh and the butt?? Don’t remember when that went but it’s gone lol. For me it was the constant pant sizes dropping .... literally every 2 weeks I needed new pants haha

Congrats on your inches!!

      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! 😞
