Issues with having a Larger body frame

Kinda wanted to see if there are Other people who are struggling to see the weight loss because we have a larger frame. I’m 5 foot 10 and I have like a large bone structure and even though I went from 256 pounds before surgery and now I’m 189 I don’t see a change in clothes or a change much elsewhere only like my shoulder and thighs. Anyone else like this?

I'm 5'5'' so kinda short-ish but I am/was wide & compact.

I've lost a lot of weight everywhere but the stomach area as much as everywhere else.

I know belly is often the last to go but there's not much difference even with 81+ lbs gone.

My weightloss is extremely evident everywhere but my abdomen area. Long point I'm poorly getting at is I understand your frustration even though i'm about 5 inches shorter.

I can relate, I'm 5'9.5" and I always carried my weight pretty evenly v. just in my belly or hips. I was also wearing mostly stretchy clothes for the months leading up to surgery (trying to avoid buying more "big" clothes). I was probably down 50+ pounds before I really started to see anything. And where I see it is in my clothes. My weight is still evenly distributed.

I made a point of taking before pictures and measurements, and now do them at the end of each month to help.
