Losing more of my bottom half than top?

[Lulu_RNY 80]

Hey everyone! So I'm currently 4 months post op my starting weight was 345 and I'm currently at 260!! (YAY!) so I've lost a very good amount already which I am super grateful for! Unfortunately I see that a lot of my lower half has gotten much smaller than my mid section! I feel as if my belly and back fat aren't going anywhere! lol I was just wondering did anyone else go through this and did it change as time went on? Did u eventually lose in the mid section as well? Any advice or responses are appreciated! Thanks ! [emoji5]

I've heard that it's challenging to see it since it comes off so quick. Would you be willing to try measuring tape to check your progress that way too?

I've never even thought to do that! That's actually a good idea...just because your right...it's coming off so quickly that everyone else is complimenting me but I don't see that my belly has gotten smaller like my hips and thighs! Measuring tape it is thank you!

I've heard that the weight comes off the areas it was last out on first... Hmm, does that make sense? I've always been bigger in thighs and hips, I started gaining in my midsection in the last couple of years. I am 4 months post op and have lost most of my midsection and back fat. Working on legs and hips now. You are doing great! Keep up the hard work, we will all be successful!

Yes, you will eventually even out! I carried most of my weight in my midsection and it was not really until I lost the last 50% of the weight that I started to see a drastic difference in that area. I'm now a few lbs below goal and while I have a small belly "flap", my waist is now defined and proportional to the rest of my body. Congrats on your success!
