When traveling from west to east then yes, you lose a day. But,

when travelling from east to west you gain a day.

Example: American Samoa is east of the dateline and independent Samoa is west of the dateline, although there is only about 60 nautical miles between the islands. So Wednesday in American Samoa is Thursday in independent Samoa.
