Losing Weight but not Inches?



Recommended Posts

I have lost over 30 pounds but I haven't lost any inches. I measure my chest, waist and hips every week and it has been 3 weeks. Has anybody else had this happen?

I lost 40lbs before I went down a pants size. It was gangbusters after that though! Hang in there

I haven't been sleeved yet but I have lost a lot of weight in the past. I gain and lose weight pretty evenly throughout my body. It takes a lot more lbs for it to show I'm losing weight because of this reason. Some people lose it like off a part of their body like their stomach for instance and nowhere else right away so you see it almost instantly and can measure it. But it's been my experience that our of the blue I am in smaller sizes and people are like wow what did you do? The bad thing is that's how I gain too.

It took me 40 pounds before I went down a size. It seems I lose everywhere. As a result , it seems my feet are getting smaller then my waist.

Lol am the opposite, seem to be stalled and loosing/gaining the same 3 pounds but have been losing inches. Was sooo frustrated and stopped weighing myself for a while. Clothes feel looser so I'll go with that and stop obsessing.

You'll lose weight and no inches.

The you won't lose weight and you'll lose load of inches.

That's how it works. Don't panic, it will happen :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
