I am 11 wks post-op and have lost 30 lbs. Yay!!!.......but hardly anyone has noticed! Tonight I got my shoulder length hair cut short and wow! I grew a neck! My face looks thinner, shoulders narrower, and neck so long. What a difference a haircut can make!

I'm still waiting to "find" my neck, but it's one of the things that I'm looking forward to the most. I hate looking at the pictures of me or catching my reflection and seeing my massive double chin. Congrats on finding your neck!! Great job!!

I remember when I discovered my shin bones and my rib cage (that one still gets me). Crazy how the simplest things become so very important and special.

For me it was right about the 30 lbs. loss that I started to really look thinner. Like you, it started showing on my face and neck mostly. I used to get a little nervous because "no one would say anything." Then starting at about 30+ the noticing and compliments started happening!!! more and more with the losses. I actually got my first, non-family "you're so skinny" comment this week! LOL I have collar bones, ribs and, as of last night, hip bones!!!! LOL Who knew! :-)

Enjoy your new hair cut. I bet you look smoking hot!!!!!

Thanks everyone. I'm feeling a little shy, and exposed now with my smaller body and dramatic cut. Back to work though Monday, I'll have no choice but to get over it! I guess you could call it un-growing pains?

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
