Weight Loss/Body



Recommended Posts

I’m not sure if this is the right section to post this, but here goes. I am a slow loser but seem to drop a few pounds at one time then the loss stops for a bit and a few weeks later I drop a few pounds. Something that I have noticed is when the scale isn’t moving my clothes fit differently…looser, and my skin might look a little strange. Like it doesn’t fit my body, if that makes sense. But then a few days later it is almost as if it molds better to my frame. Yesterday I noticed that my boots zipped all the way up and my sneakers were loose but the scale hasn’t moved since Christmas. Could it be in my head or has any one else experienced this?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Are you working out? sometimes we are losing body fat but gaining muscle and you'll notice it more in your clothes and in inches( if you measure) then on the scale.< /p>

I have heard from more than one person (they both, incidentally, had gastric bypass, rather than lapband) that when they hit a plateau on the scale, they have found they are losing inches - even though the scale is steady.

Good luck on your journey...

      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! 😞
