I have lost 35 lbs now. My problem is that I am still wearing the same size I was wearing before I lost it. I would think I would be down at least 1 size. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone have any reasoning for this? It is really discouraging.

Hi TabbyAnn,

I have the exact opposite problem.. i was banded almost 4 months ago(only lost around 20 pounds) but my clothing size went from 20 to 16. I just dont get how one can move and noth the other. i totally get your frustration, i'm sorry i dont have an answer for you , but wanted you to know there are some people with the opposite problem...wish we could combine your weight loss with my size loss and we'd both be happy! LOL

Yeah I'm the same way, I've lost about 30 pounds and yeah I'm still in the same size. They are looser on the legs but the belly still fits in my jeans just fine. Idk why that is.

Yeah, I'm right there with. I can loose around 30+ lbs myself and still be the same size, but of course they are looser. I'm currently an 18 at 236 lbs and won't see that 16 until around 210. Kind of stinks, but trying not to be discouraged, only because it's been like that my entire life.

I was the same way. I started out in a snug 3X and a few 4X's. Even though the weight was falling off the sizes weren't changing as quickly. Once I dwindled down to a 24 the weight loss slowed down a little but the sizes started dropping quickly. I was constantly buying new clothes. I even completely skipped over 22 and 18. Before I knew it, I was buying 14's. I stayed that size for well over a year and am now buying 12's and a few 10's. Don't worry. The sizes will start moving. In the meantime, enjoy not having to spend money on clothes you aren't going to be wearing for long.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
