The little things you noticed about your weight loss



Recommended Posts

I was just typing and noticed a bone/ligament showing through a bit on my hand. My engagement ring is no longer too tight too! Only a matter of time until my colar bones show completely. Woohoo!

What are the little things you've noticed that make you happy?

I can feel my collar bones! You can't really see them, well you can if you go looking for them. I can't wait until the public will be able to see them! I like touching my collar bones. Also! I enjoy crossing my legs. Isn't losing weight wonderful? :blushing:

I'm noticing my face is thinning out already. I'm so glad to see the definition return to my chin line! :blushing:

I'm excited about hipbones. I can feel them when I lay on my side. It's so exciting.

I too have been able to wrap a towel around me and also was wondering what was jabbing me in bed and realized it was a hip bone.....

I'm amazed at how much lower my necklaces hang now that the fat is gone from around my neck.

I was so excited when I discovered that a regular bath towel wrapped around me with inches to spare--that was a great day! I also love being all the way submerged in the bathtub.

But the size 8 petite jeans I bought yesterday were probably the best NSV to date.

I noticed that it was SOOOOO much easier to shave my legs in the tub! Also that there ARE bones in my butt that hurt now when I sit on a wooden chair. My wedding rings and clothes no longer fit. My legs hurt a little when I lay on my side at night because there is not as much padding to protect the bones from hitting each other:lol:!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
