roundisashape 712 Posted December 17, 2013 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJ'S/beginning 5,358 Posted December 17, 2013 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! 2 planetheather and roundisashape reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McButterpants 2,846 Posted December 17, 2013 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). :-) 2 roundisashape and RJ'S/beginning reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 3 Madam Reverie, RJ'S/beginning and Beach Lover reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whodatgirl 58 Posted December 17, 2013 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. 1 roundisashape reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Memily 86 Posted December 18, 2013 I am 3 weeks out and I can already tell a difference in my rings, so I think they will shrink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichiganChic 3,262 Posted December 18, 2013 My hands are thinner. Was a size 8 ring, about 6.5 now. My feet went from tight 10 to 8.5 or 9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planetheather 137 Posted December 20, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
