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

      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.
