jensjoy28 351 Posted May 18, 2013 ...the clothes don't seem to fit any different. Did anyone else experience this early after surgery? In my pre-surgery world, 20 lbs would be a new size... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsSarena 13 Posted May 18, 2013 I have been a size 18 at 175lbs and at 220 lbs. so for me I am not expecting a new pant size for a while! Congrats on the 20 down though. Are you just a few weeks out? My belly was swollen for like 3 weeks so even though I lost 20 in the first 2 weeks my clothes fit even more tight than they did before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZLatina 30 Posted May 18, 2013 It's normal. I was very dissappointed in the beginning because even though my clothes fit pre-surgery, they didn't fit for a few weeks after and I was loosing weight. It didn't make sense to me. In hindsight I was very swollen I think it was mostly due to all that gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jensjoy28 351 Posted May 18, 2013 Thanks...I know I just need to be patient, but I'm not!! I was sleeved May 8, so I'm only 10 days post-op (and thrilled with the loss, don't get me wrong!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
