Question:
I had lap rny 5/5/03 and am down 58 lbs. The loss has slowed in the last

few weeks, but my clothes are getting looser. Is is common for the weight loss to slow down, but still be loosing inches? I'm not complaining, but my teenage daughter is. She hates to see me in her closet(I love it)!    — Wendy S. (posted on October 13, 2003)

I am also a SLOW loser. I have only dropped about 2 lbs per month past the first two weeks of clear fluids when you lose like CRAZY. I have lost a few inches also but am still wearing the same size clothing. I do like my clothes loose also. I feel like I am still waiting for my "miracle". I am glad that you are not complaining because with this slow weight loss I feel like I am complaining every chance I get. It is discouraging to me. Good luck in your journey.

Wendy, I had Lap RNY on 5/15/03 - I'm down 63 pounds and it seems VERY slow. I have lost several inches all over. I went from a 3x (26/28) to a size lg/xlg pants went from 22/24 stretch jeans to 14/16. When I don't see the scale move I see my clothes getting bigger. If I didn't see the iches getting smaller I think I'd die. It's really difficult when the scale doesn't move. I finally went through all my clothes and got rid of all 3x, 2x, 26/28, and 22/24's. Keep hanging in there and keep your protein intake up and carbs down. We read over and over again how we all are differnt. Keep focusing on the achievements to date. More is to come... Best of luck.
