This is going to sound really silly, but I have "working hands" and stubby sausage fingers. Even after my mom got big, she maintained a delicacy to her hands and other features that I was always envious of. Now I'm wondering what my own hands might look like after I drop some weight.

Did you folks notice a big difference in your hands? Anyone have pictures?

I always had long slender fingers...but I was wearing a size 8-9 when I had this WLS..now I am a 5.5...Smaller then I was before I got married 36 years ago......I was a size 7 then.....

None of my rings fit me anymore...None of my wedding rings fit me anymore.....I am perplexed!

I can see a difference in my hands - I'm just over 4 weeks out.

My rings fit better than they did before. My husband commented that my fingers don't look like little sausages (in a nice way). :-)

The same way he told me my a$$ is getting smaller!!!! LOL. We've been together for 18 years - He is not romantic, he doesn't whisper sweet nothings in my ear, he's basically a big child and makes me laugh.

Mine have shrunk. My fingers look longer and thinner, but I don't have any pics. Someone said to me the other day, "Those don't even look like your hands anymore." The only problem is that they look much older.

I am 3 weeks out and I can already tell a difference in my rings, so I think they will shrink.

My hands are thinner. Was a size 8 ring, about 6.5 now. My feet went from tight 10 to 8.5 or 9.

My wedding ring finger went from a 7 to a 5.5 in 6 weeks. I can tell my hands and feet are slimmer (who the hell knew I had fat feet too?). Interestingly, my hands do not look older but I think I know why. When I decided to have this surgery my attitude toward myself changed. Before, I put hand cream on because they ached in dry climates and in the winter. I started paying a lot more attention to myself and even more after the weight started coming off. I do take daily fish oil now, but I also started going to Lush to get very nice moisturizers and bath bombs. I can tell a difference in my skin everywhere. And bonus! Most of the items are solids and not creams, which means they can come on the plane with me!

      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.
