Where Have You Noticed Your Weight Loss First? :)

[N/A 96]

I have lost 26 pounds since the pre-op diet. Seen face, arms, thighs, and finally some of the swelling in my stomach begin to go down. It's exciting. Where are the areas you have noticed?

I noticed weight loss in face, followed by feet, followed by stomach, followed by arms and so. It is during stalls when your body composition changes the most. The size usually does not drop uniformly everywhere, so it was interesting to experience.

Mostly my upper body. I can see my collar bones once in a while now. I have no more double chin. I have started to see it just a tiny bit on my stomach. My body is loathe to lose from my waistline/hips/thighs, so that's probably gonna be the last to go

For me it was my face a shoulders first. My belly and chest are becoming less rotund, and starting to sag...saggy man boobs! Not pretty, but neither are man boobs PERIOD, for that matter! LOL Time to hit the gym!

I am down 51lbs (26 post op) and I definitely notice my face, hands, feet, and shoulders. My husband says he can feel the difference when he hugs me. Now it's time for this barrel around my middle to go!!

my face, my gut and my arms

i didn't notice any changes for a long time - didn't have old clothes that i could compare that all of a sudden fit, didn't fit etc.

you/ i just can't look at yourself/myself and see a change - even though i knew it was going on

FINALLY one day got out of the shower and stood in front of the full length mirror. Stared at myself for a couple of minutes - and said to myself "what, where is my stomach?" honest, that was the first thing i finally noticed - stomach was gone, expect for only a teeny bit of hanging skin

next thing i noticed later, my big rear end was flat with a heck of a lot of excess skin going down the back of my legs

flat rear ends aren't that attractive - buttttt better a flat tush, than a gigantic tush

main thing left is my dble chin - won't/can't loose that

Face, ankles, boobies...some on love handles...can't wait for more changes...she said as she sipped the loathesome Protein shake...lol!

7 weeks with preop and 53 down, and my face is smaller, my feet are less puffy, and I see my thighs reducing. I'm lost a little in the stomach, and I pray that area loses more. Someone said your body composition changes during stalls, and we shall see. At 5 weeks post surgery I am 10 days into my first stall lol.

since i've been seriously overweight for so long, my mind's eye has not caught up with reality. i still see the same old 'fat' guy when i look at myself. but, i notice my weightloss in my clothes. the uniform provider at work is really starting to get annoyed with me .

if i put side by side pics of myself up, i can see the difference everywhere though, just can't get my mind to wrap itself around my new reality.

Face & neck first. Then back & shoulders - no more spilling over the back bra strap!

I am just starting to see a difference in my rib cage / torso. The belly is still bad but I am now able to wear dresses and blouses that haven't fit in a year. I am 4 weeks out today and have lost 22 lbs total.

In addition to face, stomach, arms, chest and feet, i have also noticed inner thighs are practically gone, making it easy to drop things through the legs. May be TMI, but my existing underwear has turned into a tent because my behind has flattened and waist and upper leg area has shrunk so much (in just 3 months). My twin brother is currently 10 lbs less than me, but i already look much smaller then him, he is considered overweight, but pretty normal for a guy that is almost 40.

Face, neck and inside the abdomen were the first I noticed. Then it started to show up everywhere.

I am an odd one then. I have lost uniformly. I look exactly the same naked as i did before only smaller. I am 5 months out and Down 93 lb.

[It's all new 453]

Well, I have lost all over pretty much EXCEPT the belly. It is hanging on for dear life despite my almost 80 lb weight loss. Ok, it is much smaller but proportionally still not so pretty. In the last week I have lost two inches around my waist, so I truly hope that means the belly will start to GO. 40 lbs to goal.
