I still have some double chin action going, but the first comments I got when I starting losing weight were that my face looked thinner. Can't wait until mine is gone for good!

Oh yea....the double chin definitely goes. Unfortunately it's replaced by a turkey waddle!:lol:

We lose weight from the top down.... which for PEAR shapes like me is unfortunate. SO the odds of you losing that chin are pretty darn good!

Good Luck!!!

My double chin is gone and I don't have the turkey waddle either. I am pear shaped too. I noticed my stomach has gone down a lot. Now I am waiting for the hips and buttocks to disappear. But I am happy with the results. 100 lbs down.

Hi, I'm pear shaped and please tell me after 100lbs you still have hips and butt? That's great because I dont want to loose my hips and butt, my husband would file for divorce! LOL! Running is what trims the hips and butt when you are shaped like us...looking forward to the perfect hourglass figure...goodluck!

Everybody has commented that they can see it in my face. I have lost 20 lbs and really don't see it or feel it except in the seat of myscrub pants mostly. I have been wearing scrubs since surgery because it's more comfortable with my incisions. I just put on a pair of dress pants Saturday nite and they didn't seem any bigger but the shirt I had on was looser. I think it's hard to look in the mirror and see ourselves like others do.

Funny you wrote that. Speaking for only me... Looking at both a "start date" photo and a head shot photo of me taken 45 days after surgery, I thought my hair had started to grow rapidly - Better eating, perhaps? After closer inspection, it wasn't my hair that was longer. My chin was shorter and my neck was longer!!! So, keep the hope alive!

      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.
