Perhaps it isn't that they are getting any bigger, but the rest of you is getting smaller? Then they look bigger on your body?

Hey, it happens to some guys in a different part of the body.... :o

Hi!

My face first, and belly. Then, all of a sudden, I have ankles and could buy nice open toe sandals!

Luka Beth, I think that because you are getting smaller, the boobs seem bigger. Lol

I have noticed it in my face definitely.. But I do look overall smaller.. It's a nice feeling to here my boss tell me how great I'm looking especially because she isn't one for giving compliments :) felt good. :)

My hands had to get my rings sized, should have it done again but I have chosen speed bumps so they don't spin on my finger. Other than that I haven't seen too much change.

My face and my tummy first. Seems like everything else took forever!

First my face, shoulders, side arms. Now my belly, waist and hips. Oh and my wrist, which is weird.

Face and stomach. Face is the most obvious for me.

I lost a whole shoe size, my pants got longer (or is that thighs thinner?), I had to have my wedding rings re-made with a hinge because they kept spinning so much even the hump would not work.

My Tiffany necklace that was a choker (not meant to be) now sits beautifully on my neck. My face is WAY different (see my before and after pics on my profile). I don't recognize myself in old photos.

Congrats, Cocoabean!! And LoL @"not supposed to be"

Hey, at least you HAVE old photos... I probably have ONE at my biggest (before losing 40 on Atkins) and that's it!

Take pictures! I don't have pics of me at my biggest either because like most heavy people, I hated how I looked. I regret that now. Because the best advice I got from a fellow bandster was to take pictures, every week, without fail. And in the weeks where the scale didn't move, those pictures kept me going.

      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.
