Losing inches not lbs



Recommended Posts

I am 10 weeks out have only lost about 10 lbs - I had my first fill on 8/8 and it didn't help much - I am not eating much but weight is coming off very very slow. I get another fill today at 3:00 so hope it helps. I definitely look thinner and my clothes are looser even though the scale doesn't show a change from last week - is it possible to lose inches even though it doesn't show up on the scale? Thanks.

Inches are just as important. Before you know it, the weight will come off. You are doing fine. Hang in there. Congrats on your loss so far!

I have stopped weighing myself...I only weigh myself once a week, or less. It is so much more fun to put on a pair of pants you have not worn in a while and they fit! You're doing good.

I just got back from my second fill - he only went up .5 cc - anyway, he said that some people lose inches not lbs for a while then lbs start falling off and some people lose lbs first but no inches - it is weird but that is what he said was normal. My port is still sticking out like an egg but he thinks it may continue to go down - it is a whippin to get it moved - have to go under another general and have another surgery - I hope he is right saying he thinks it will go down more - it is literally right under my skin - I can feel the port.

I know how you feel. I have been working out 5-6 days a week. I know I cut my eating in half and I jump on the scale and NOTHING. But I went from a size 24 to a size 20. So i know something is going on. People tell me it's the muscle that I'm gaining that is keeping my weight the same. I sure hope so...But I'm due for my fill tomorrow. I've been waiting on this day like Christmas. This will be my second fill.
