How Does One Lose 2 Pants Sizes With The Scale Not Moving



Recommended Posts

I went and bought a kayak that came it said with a size large adult life vest. I put it on and said, "Hm, guess i wear a large." I took it off and the thing said "Adult Small/Medium"

Does that officially make you a skinny b***h? I think I could be underweight and still not wear a small. You guys suck. ;)

I was thrilled to put on my 22 pants the other day, then realized they're actually 24. Bah.

I have been at 263 for a bit. However , I have lost 2 pant sizes in the process. It does seem weird but hey I will take it. lol

In the midst of my love-hate relationship with the scale, I have managed to lose inches and drop a few clothes sizes...miraculously.

Skinny b***h. That's good :D . Under all this blubber I am very petite, yet a little curvy. At 5'1" and small bones I tended to wear X-Small clothes. I don't think i can go back to that though - not unless I had plastics. The boob skin isn't shrinking much, but they are deflated. I've got the skirt/apron thing going. It's not noticeable under clothes, but BAH!

I wouldn't mind a little height on me dang it!

It'll come off. We're all in the long haul. This is going to be an ongoing thing so if it takes 1 year, two years or three -- We are still smaller and healthier than before and we get to have that for the rest of our lives.

YAY sleeve!

You know what trips me out a bit. Those folks that started this journey at a 30 BMI. I;m a 30 now and feel super fit. I guess it's all relative huh?

Well, I'm tall (5'10 give or take) and I think that just means my droopy skin has farther to distort.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
