Lost inches but no pounds

[AE09 3]

it's normal!!! :cursing: My surgeon made sure i fully understood that inches would come off first..i lost 30 pounds in the first few weeks after surgery (which was 7/7/09) and then the scale just stopped...however, by 6 weeks out of surgery, i was down 4 inches on EACH MEASUREMENT of my torso..chest -4, hips -4, bust -4, waist -4...so even though the scale wasn't moving anymore my clothes were still getting way too big and everyone kept saying how much smaller I was getting...but i was getting frustrated at the same time because as THRILLED as i was, i wanted to see that damn scale MOVE DOWN!

Now i'm 7 1/2 months post-op, i've had my 4th fill in January and i'm LOSING EASILY AGAIN!!!!!!! :crying: After each fill i would drop a few pounds the next day and then the scale would just stop again..this time i dropped 8 pounds in 3 days and it's slowed down but i'm still losing!! :wink:

Dont' get discouraged...the scale WILL start moving again! Just try to believe everyone when they tell you that they see the difference...it took me awhile to really believe it but i do now!

Thank you, I neede that very much. I need to know that it's normal. I too have pants I can no longer wear. I actually lost my pants they fell to my ankles on our way back in after our anniversary dinner!! So, I know it's working...

The scale moves very slowly for me, so I take monthly measurements, too. I was VERY discouraged earlier this week, until I learned I lost 7.5 inches between 1/24 and 2/24. Then, all of a sudden, the scale decided to give me a 3.6 pound loss, too. Jackpot!

They don't always make sense, these bodies of ours. But they DO do what they're supposed to do. We just have to trust the process.
