What's up with WLS people & collar bones?



Recommended Posts

I never lost my collarbones, but the first place I've lost weight has been in that region, shoulders, upper chest, a chin or two disappeared. In a head shot, I'd look terrific but in reality it only emphasises even more how far south my boobs are.

I'd never convince my DH that I needed an eye lift or Lipo but thank good men are boob obsessed and even if I'm not saving for the boob job, he sure is.

I noticed the same phenomenon and love my collarbone. My husband was rubbing my shoulders awhile ago and felt my shoulder blades. He didn't know that is what they were and just thought I was really tense and had built up a mass of tense muscles. I nearly fell down laughing at his shock to find they were actual and true bones! Teresa

I shocked myself recently while rubbing up against a door jamb to scratch an itch. (What, doesn't everyone do that? :( )

These two big hard things were getting stuck on the jamb every time I moved back and forth. I was laughing when I realized they were my own shoulder blades! Not bones I'm very familiar with, sad to say.

DH used to lay in my "nook" and say how soft it was. Now he's finding a hard time getting to a soft spot because 1) my boobs have gone down a lot, and 2) my collar bone is sticking out.

I'm wearing a Mardi Gras mask conversing with someone wearing a snorkle.
Hey, that's nothing! You should have seen me about 30 mins before that picture was taken, cruising around 120 ft. underwater, sucking down Nitrox. THAT would be a good avatar! But not nearly as good as the wetsuit/mardi gras combo!

Just today my DH was laying down with me and he said "Holy crap! You have ribs under there!" Who knew?, lol.

I love collar bones - I think they're sexy.

      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.
