What parts of your body are getting smaller?



Recommended Posts

I have noticeable loss in my butt, legs, arms and face. My stomach is just now starting to shrink a bit. Sadly, I can still wear the pants that I wore pre-surgery. My legs and butt are swimming in them, but my gut still fits. Kind of a bummer!

I didn't see it at first, but others noticed it in my face and arms first.

Secondly, I noticed my overall abdomen region. My pants were fitting HUGE, I was having to pull them up because they were falling off. I switched to a smaller size i had in the closet and those are now fitting loosely, but I can probably stick those out for another month or so.

The last place i'm now starting to notice is my legs. My calves looked smaller today (i wore a dress to work). When I lay in bed, I noted last night that my thighs were shrinking and they felt soft and mushy, lol. I was also able to get on a pair of heels i couldn't get on before and my toes didn't feel like they were going to be amputated when i stood up! :biggrin:

My face and neck, plus my chest, not boobs but the area above them is not so puffy. I always lose in my waist, which makes my hips look bigger. I am down 50 lbs. but still in same size pants and tops. My stomach is not shrinking and my arms are BIGGER from the looseness of the skin. I probably could get inta an 18 top if not for the arms. I nee 20/22 due to them and then have to pay to get the top taken in. Thighs and calf still same measurement. I will be flat chested but fat everywhere else at goal! LOL

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
