I also have very small ankles. In fact, framewise I am very petite. Since you don't have "tankles" I think you would like it. :)

This is the tattoo on the underside of my forearm. I took the pic 2 years ago when I got it (hence the redness and puffiness)

This one has literally just shrank along with me as I've lost weight, it hasn't been distorted or stretched at all.

My aunt used to joke that when she was 18 she got a rose tattoo on her hip, and as she's gotten older it's turned into a whole rose bush!

Then there was the babe who got a nice little rosebud tattooed on her left breast. Forty years later, it was a long-stemmed rose.

It really depends on location. My tattoos on my forearm and back have just shrunk with me' date=' the one just above my right breast is now kinda stretchy and icky.[/quote']

I have a large butterfly on my right breast with ivy vines wrapping around...I am super worried it is going to misform badly when I lose my weight. I really hope not though.

My ribs and back are covered in tattoos from before banding. I did a lot of research before gettin banded on what might happen. I still get nervous about it sometimes when I think about it-- but I would recommend anyone getting banded wait until after weight loss. Depending on your skins elasticity, the type of tattoo (certain styles age better as it is, without considering lap band) and placement, it could shift or distort. My fingers are crossed that I don't end up losing all this weight and being unhappy with my body because of how my tattoos have adjusted. Fortunately, I carry most of my weight in my stomach and am tattoo free there (and hips!- don't want pregnancy to ruin any tattoos in the future either). I figure my tattoos tell a story and this is a huge part of mine, so whatever happens, happens. That being said-- I can't wait to get more once I hit goal!

Good luck- and I would hold off until you know how your body responds to the weight loss if you can :)

I have three...two are one my upper back and one is on the top of my right foot. After losing almost 100 pounds, I haven't noticed any changes in them. But if you have a low pain tolerance, stay away from foot tats. I almost broke the damn chair when I was getting it done!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.

        I'm so sorry. I lost my pup (Mr. Bitters - a chocolate Pomeranian) 2 years ago and it still makes me tear up. He was my everything - my constant companion. I understand. Do the best you can to get back on track.
