I AM 82 LBS DOWN AND STILL LOOK THE SAME

[girlchild 5]

This is ssssoooo me! I gained a lot of weight and still fit in the same size' date=' so I know that once I lose weight that I should not go by my clothing size because it will discourage me.[/quote']

You may find yourself surprised. I, too, hadn't gone up a size in at least the last 60 pounds of my weight gain, but I went down a size (tops AND pants) at about 30 pounds lost. Curious about the disparity myself, I've concluded that as I got bigger, the clothes got that much baggier to hide the mass. Once it starts coming off, you want to be able to look in the mirror - and have other people look at you - and SEE it. So, my clothes are more fitted to my body now.

I feel the same way. Im 5 weeks post op and lost 38 started at 304 and I dont see much difference yet. I guess we'll notice when we hit below 200 and we feel like we dropped a person not a pants size

So is anyone else a little jealous of her weight loss in 5 WEEKS?!?!?! I'm praying for 50 lbs in 5 weeks, lol... As of Friday last week, since surgery, I'd lost only 15 lbs... 27 overall with the pre-op diet... I weighed the same as you the day of surgery.... I'm not happy I'm such a slow loser... What are you doing to drop so well? I'm 3 weeks post-op today

Well i am working out about 4 times a week not including twice a day on the weekends. I really am trying so hard to tighten and tone my body as much as possible. and i am training for the la marathon in march. I just try to keep my body moving really.

Well after posting this topic yesterday, i went home and began giving my 4 yr old daughter a bath when suddenly she looked at me and said," Mommy, Youre little!" lol. I was soooo surprised and super excited at the same time. I know i cant look the same if my 4 yr old noticed.

You are actually normal in your weight loss surgery. this is the average that I have seen, read about, and experienced myself....You are doing great so keep it up. Remember, you are not a slow loser........
