Do you lose the weight uniformly ?



Recommended Posts

When losing the weight after surgery, what part of the body do you lose the weight first, second and third? I would like to hear from all to see where and what stages the weight was lost. Is it done uniformly , stomach, legs, arms or what?

Thank you.

My tops have gone from a 3X to a L but my bottoms have only gone from a 24 to a 20/18. I am losing breast faster than I would like, but the hips and thighs are still here. Maybe its just my body shape.

I seem to lose from the top down. Face, then neck, then arms/chest..etc

Same as when I'd lose weight before the surgery - from the top down.

Hahaha! The fat just melts away, and all you have left is a skin suit that used to fit over the fat ass hanging there....sad butt. However I have hope for filling it up with some fine muscle. When I flex my gluts I have a nice butt, true... however I have yet to be able to hold them flexed forever... so they remain flat most of the time. :^( I expect the butt suit to shrink at least a bit in the future as well.

      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.
