What parts of your body are getting smaller?

[miller3675 0]

Hello, everyone! I apologize if this question has been asked already (I'm new here), but after trolling around for a bit, I didn't see it. Anyway, I was wondering what parts of your body are getting smaller post-surgery. I have lost a lot of noticeable weight in my face and legs, but my stomach area is still basically the same size. I recently donated 16 pairs of pants that are HUGE in the legs, but they fit just fine in the stomach/hips area. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I've lost 50.75 inches, and they've been really well-distributed across the areas I measure. The losses in chest, hips, and waist have been proportional---as have arms, neck, and thighs.

Though the overall loss is proportional, it wasn't always even. My abdomen, which I never measured, is MUCH smaller now, but took a while to catch up to losses in other areas.

Be patient--it takes time, but it'll come off!

I was just telling my NUT this, too! She said that we lose weigh in our extremities first.

I've lost 64 pounds and I don't really notice it in my stomach area. In my face, my chin (I'm down to 1 now! LOL), my legs and I've lost 1/2 of a shoe size!

But, I can still wear the same jeans I was wearing before surgery - ACK! They are a ton looser but I can still wear them.

While it is true that I have lost all over, my stomach is the slowest to go. UGH! And my boobs ... they are going, but they were so big to begin with that they seem to be hanging on for dear life! LOL

My legs look like twigs compared to the rest of me. I hate that, but I always lose in my legs first. My face is noticeably smaller, my wrists are tiny (but they were never big, just much, much smaller now). But happily my "back fat" is coming down. YAY! I don't know if my stomach will ever go away, but I will keep trying!

My rear end!!!!!!! I've lost 4 1/4 inches off of it and only 1 1/2 or less everywhere else....

BUMmer.... It was my favorite ASSet

sorry I couldn't resist :cursing:

My butt & boobs. I have already told my husband my boobs are going to need some work when I get to goal.

Everywhere, head to toe. But I must admit the rear end was hit pretty hard. Poor thing is flat as a pancake. Even my 3yr old granddaughter asked what happened to it. :cursing:

My sides were first to go... weird eh? I love having curves again though instead of just a big fat blob... Then I would say my lower legs.... just starting to notice it in my face now..

I am still pre op but I do wonder if my ankles, feet, and legs will stop swelling. I can put on 10lbs during the day from swelling. I have to buy extra extra wide shoes to accommadate the swelling. I hope I will have ankles again.:cursing:

Lucky Lady!! I want curves.

My butt thankfully! It was practically growing up my back! LOL! My thighs, my waist. I don't notice as much in my boob area, but around it has shrunk. My side boob handles are shrinking!

I'm still wearing the same shirts & capris, just with a belt on the capris. Dresses & skirts I've noticed differences. Some are too big and fall off, others that didn't fit, fit really nicely.

I lost my boobs and my butt first. I'm starting to lose in my stomach area now. Everything has gotten smaller, but the stomach was last to go.
