ddkVSG 32 Posted January 7, 2017 I'm 10 days post op. I have lost 45 lbs between pre op low carb diet and post op liquid to purée diet. In spite of a 45 lb loss, I am still the same pant size! I've lost two shirt sizes. My face looks thinner. I can't wear my wedding ring because it's too loose. My bra cups are too loose. I look funny in my same size pants because my legs are thinner. It's just so unfair! I'm just whining. I know someday the mid girth will give up the fight and start shrinking. Meanwhile, anyone else experience this kind of loss?

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted January 7, 2017 My weight has some off the places that it was easiest to lose first. Legs, upper torso, above shoulders. My stomach where the bulk of my weight is, has "lost the slowest". That isn't really true, it just has the most to lose. Now that I am almost done, almost all the weight I am losing comes off my lower stomach. Hang in there, it get better. Just keep losing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dashofpixiedust8 1,469 Posted January 7, 2017 I definitely have this same problem. My top size has dropped 3 sizes but my pants have only dropped 1-2. I think it's because I have so much extra skin already hanging around my stomach that I need a bigger size. Highest weight: 540 5/29/16 Surgery weight: 480 Current weight:335 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elisa5150 212 Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) This freaked me out too but someone pointed out that swelling with surgery was normal and that would be that last area to respond. I was losing from middle by 1 month post op. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Edited January 7, 2017 by elisa5150 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
