This may be a dumb question but after the surgery when you start losing weight do you lose it everywhere? Like feet, hands, ect.

I think it's different for everyone but for me it's been everywhere. Shoes, bras, rings, watch, pants, tops all getting too big. I think the only thing I haven't had to adjust has been a ball cap but if I lose hair I'm sure that will have to be tightened up soon too :)

Yup everywhere! I've had to resize rings, buy shorter necklace chains, get shorter bracelets, and buy new shoes, bras and undies, coats, etc. And things feel more breezy down there without so much fat padding!

i'm assuming that you lose everywhere but everyone is different. for that reason i have taken a LOT of measurements every hwere on my body. i did the most common ones, but also added stuff like my face, neck shoulders, i did each finger, wrists, ankles and calves.

we shall see :)

      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.
