Stupid Question for the Losers...



Recommended Posts

Did you eyelids loose weight? :P I did warn you this was a stupid question! I ask because I like to wear & experiment with eyeshadow, but I have a pretty heavy eyelid so you can't see most of the "work" I do. So I was wondering if the fat on my eyelids would go away so that I could have a better palette for my eyeshadow.

interesting question, but definately not stupid. . . i've always have had puffy/heavy eyelids, now i've lost 150 lbs and still have heavy/puffy eyelids. . i still do my makeup as i would encourage you to. . . as you lose weight, you'll see difference and can adjust then. . . sorry i didn't help much. . . good luck!

I've noticed that my entire face, including the area around my eyes, is thinner and less puffy--maybe it's genetic or something. I also eat relatively salty foods frequently, but I try to get in some extra Water when I do.... I also love playing with makeup (rediscovered after decades of "just getting by") and have enjoyed learning how to really do it right in the last few months. It's even more fun now that I can actually use contours and highlighters and they don't look silly on my round, fat face (cause it isn't any more!).

Have fun, and I hope it works out.

Funny you would ask this question because this morning I was putting on eyeshadow and I have so much darn skin on my upper eye lid that it folds to were you dont see my eye shadow at all.......... cannot wait for an eye lift or something to be done, but got to lose more weight yet... I have never had plastic surgery before, but I will be looking into it once I am at goal weight... :D

Yep! We (everyone that is, the human race -- not just overweight people lol) have fat pads in our upper and lower eyelids, and you won't believe how much bigger your eyes will look in pics further down the road. The only possible negative about losing some of it is that you might look a little darker under the eyes, but hey--that's what makeup's for, right? :D

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
