Hello all!!!!

I was curious if anyone has lost weight in their hands after gastric bypass? I have very chubby hands (friends refer to them as cabbage patch hands lol)

Yes, I wore a size 12 ring before surgery...now wear a size 8 1/5... had to have my wedding ring resized twice! feels funny to have smaller hands! And also my feet are not as wide...I can wear regular shoes!! not W or WW.

I can't wait to have normal size feet. On the down side, I'll have to get rid of a LOT of expensive wide shoes. My daughter is going to be busy selling things for me online! :-)

my mom got tired of seeing me flop around in the shoes that were too big and took me shoe shopping. First time I've bought new shoes in YEARS! it was fantastic!!

This is what I'm hoping will happen for me. My ring size is 13 now and I didn't even let my husband get me a real wedding band. I couldn't stand the thought of it being a 13. I have picked out a gorgeous set that gets handmade by a jewelry designer in NY. METALICIOUS.COM

Her stuff is awesome and unique which I like. So I am hoping my fingers go down like yours. :-)

Surgery in the morning!!!

My hands have thinned out along with my feet. My feet went from 10w-11 to 9-10 no wide. I haven't resized my wedding rings yet going to wait until 18 months post. But I did try an 8 and it fit. My rings are a size 10. I wear them on a necklace.

Surgery date 7/25/12

After 50 to 70 pounds I got my run sized. After 100 pounds I wear it on my middle finger. I'm hoping to lose another 40 pounds, so maybe I will need a new set!!! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
