I love this topic :) My daughters are always telling me that my collar bones stick out too much and it's gross. Secretly.....I love it! Good luck to you!

I broke my collarbone when I was 12 and I remember the doctor telling me it had to be set properly or I would have a bump when I was an adult. I spent my entire adult life, until now, as a morbidly obese woman, so nobody could see my collarbone. Now, I love having collarbones on show and am glad that the doctor was cruel to be kind when he set it!

Somebody snapped a pic of me last year, I didn't know I still had a collarbone.

It's a welcome sight and good feeling for sure! I'm glad I'm not the only one surprised by this!

If I get a spray tan, it pools in my collar bones. I also cant shave under my arms because the hollow is so deep I can fit my fist in it!

This is what I'm really excited about too!! :) I haven't gotten banded yet but I've always thought one of the most exciting parts of losing all this weight would be seeing my collar bone :)

      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.
