I have a question please which seem silly



Recommended Posts

My rings are in my jewelry box. I have a very petite custom engagement ring. I talked my now husband into something smaller, but custom that we worked with the jeweler to design. I have to have him size it, as it is a pressure set ring, so unless I want to have a big gob of white gold added to the interior of my ring making it heavy and uncomfortable, I will just wait to have it sized. I am going down nearly 3 sizes. But I want to be at goal 6 months, and know for sure that my weight is stable, the jeweler told us sizing is really only a one time thing with this ring. So I didn't wear it while pregnant, and now that it's huge on me, I have it in a locked jewelry box.

Please, please, please don't wear stainless steel rings. They are nearly impossible to get off if you break or badly cut your finger. Bone is much easier to cut than stainless steel....and you don't want to lose that battle with your jewellery!

As for the topic at hand...yes, you lose weight in your hands. And, I had always heard that women like shoes so much because you don't gain weight in your feet, so it's your one size that stays relatively stable. That is a LIE! I have bad feet, so all of my shoes are very expensive, and I looked long and hard for each and every pair. I'm really sad at saying goodbye to some of them...not sad enough to put the weight back on, though!

My calves are still "ginormous" lol :P

Ughhh, thanks for this information. I was hoping to NOT have to see my neighborhood cobbler anymore for calf extensions on my boots. Time will tell...

My rings in my early 20's were I 5 and I think they are now a 9. I also have huge calves and cankles! URGH. I have a skinny picture from age 20 where my calves look great and hoping they will again.

Yes, they got thinner for me. My ring size was a 10, now it is a 6.5. It is very nice not to have sausage fingers anymore! ;)

Oh I hope this happens for me too!!! I also wear a size 10 (or 9.5). I want to wear pretty rings but my fat fingers just look fatter with rings right now :rolleyes:

This very interesting. Even though I weigh 266, my fingers are not too big. I wear a 7 ring.

      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. 🤞
