Collarbones



Recommended Posts

I have some. I never knew I had them, though of course they must have always been there but now, they let themselves be known! I love them, even though they freak me out a little.

I reach up to scratch an itch on my neck or rub my moisturiser in or adjust my bra strap and BOOM! I hit a W/T/F moment as my hand hits this weird, large, protruding bone! I haven't gotten used to it yet. I LOVE how I can see them now when I look in the mirror even if I am still unprepared for when I feel them sticking out like they do. Like they are meant to.

An unexpected little NSV. Collarbones. I can sit here and play with them :-)

It is also quite exciting the first time you look down and see your own feet, lol!

I am going thru the same thing! I think I am the only one who sees then though! I fix the neck of my shirt or strap and feel something hard there. even a "hollow" spot! I can't wait till they are even more noticeable.

This is silly, but I almost obsess over my collar bones now. I love to wear a shirt where they show. It is just a visual reminder of how far I have come!

Back in my smaller days .....I loved to show off my collarbones because it was literally the only bone people would ever see unless I had a severe open fracture with my bone protruding out. :)

I love my collar bones but my wtf moment was when I hit my hip bone with my wrist. I looked up thinking something was resting there like a book or whatever. I realized what it was and just sat there not really comprehending it. Then I got the biggest grin! Now whenever I lay on my side I'm always touching them lol!

Seeing my collarbones is actually on my list of one of the things I am most excited about in regards to losing weight & they way I look. I'm glad to see I'm not alone in the thrill!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
