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 :)

      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.
