Where do you lose your weight?



Recommended Posts

So I'm 4 months out and 40 pounds down. I've started (finally!) to notice differences particularly in the size of my clothing and how things fit...and I admit that I've taken to standing naked in front of the mirror...(something I can say I did NOT do before...avoided that at all costs...)

And so far...my weight is coming off in my boobs (Boooo!) and my stomach. I confirmed it with measurements...

What I want to know is when that lower belly...(Ooooh that overhang lower belly that is just killing me) is going to depart.

With my luck it will be the last thing to go.

:P

Where are you shedding your weight?

Everyone is different so no one can answer that for you.

Unfortunately, for many of us it never departs, especially if it's already hanging down. It turns into a skin apron that continues to hang and is the reason many of us (myself included) need surgery to remove it.

Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones, though. Keep your fingers crossed.

Boobs, face, arms and butt. I'm going to need some extra help in the belly area.

Every where. A lot people lose in their shoe size, but never me, the size 12. My width did go down to a medium from a wide. I take my measurements once a month but didn't think of it until 1 1/2 months after the surgery. I have been bad for about 2 months so I have not taken any but I may soon.

Anna girl you crack me up. I can honestly say all over for me but my boobs first yay however on my part as they were in my way. As far as my belly, I do hang, probably always will as Missy said but you exercise constantly so you may not have that problem. Even my feet shrunk.

Feeling your pain there...my boobs already going... Hubby is and has been fully supportive of my band. When we first talked about it , he asked if my boob's would go, I said , most probably. If they keep going at this rate, next year I'll be having a boob job :-)

      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.
