Lost over 60lbs but still the same dress size



Recommended Posts

Same thing happened with me I lost a ton and sizes weren't budging at my higher weights. Now a much smaller even five pounds changes my sizes. Once I hit size six or eight on the way down things started moving much faster size wise. You're doing great hang in there.

Above 16 I found sizing really Fluid - stretchy fabrics, plus-size cuts, vanity sizing all likely played a part. I could still wear things across a huge range of weights, though they hung differently.

Below 12 is totally different. Now both fit and overall look change FAST. It’s Instantly obvious what fits and what doesn’t. The cut is much less forgiving, for one thing. It’s a good (though pricey) problem to have.

It’s pretty common. There’s a huge gap between larger sizes. I had to lose about 50 pounds to drop a size when I started and now only about 10 pounds.

Also, a lot of us are wearing clothes that are stretchy, or maybe even a little tight at the beginning of our journeys. So we have to drop huge amounts to get to the next size.

Dont worry, it will happen!

Thanks for your post. However, mine is the opposite. I’m loosing a lot of inches and my sizes are dropping, but my pounds aren’t. I’m 4 1/2 months post. Suggestions please.

Are you perhaps exercising and building muscle?

I used to exercise a lot prior to surgery, but, I’ve only did a little since surgery.

I’m 12 weeks and 55 lbs down. I’ve gone down 1 size but can still wear the same clothes because it was all a little tight. The only new clothes I’ve gotten since surgery have been new work shirts and those are a uniform piece provided by work. So I didn’t buy it

      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! 😞
