Losing weight from where?

[2NewBeginningsxoxo 24]

Hey everyone. I'm one week post VSG as of tomorrow! I'm feeling great and so happy I made this decision. I've lost a total of 38 pounds but that includes the weight I lost during the 2 week liquid pre op diet as well. It's still hard for me to see where on my body I've lost the weight, but I'm feeling like it must be in my face, hips and the side boob area (i'll be so thankful to lose the side boob hangover, lol). I was wondering where did you all lose your weight first and how much did you lose before you could really tell? I tried on some jeans this morning thinking they would definitely feel loser, but I didn't notice a huge difference :/

I've been losing MUCH more slowly than you, having only lost 50 pounds in almost 7 months post-op, but I lost the excess weight from my face, arms, and torso first. I've always carried most of my weight in my legs, so that's the first place it goes on and last place it comes off. You can take a look at my progress pics in my gallery to see my pre-op pics and then the first set I took when I got to Onederland. I'll be taking more pics tonight, because I just got to an "overweight" BMI yesterday, so it's another major milestone, even though I've only lost 12 pounds since the Onederland pics.

Mine came off of my face, back/ribs first, and now a lot is coming from my butt/legs. Still waiting on my belly and arms to start being noticeably different. Well, my arms are different, they are deflating, but I still have all the skin (still quite a bit of fat in there), but I'm hoping that as I keep losing it will tighten up at least some. Now if i hold up my arm you can see kind of an indent where my arm outline should be and where all my 'extra bits' are. It's not very pretty at the moment.

My face and my FEET! I lost a shoe size before I lost a jean size!! Now it's coming off the upper torso area. I have lost a band size but fortunately not a cup size

It's fun to take my measurements every couple of weeks!

I want to know when the back fat goes away! I really REALLY hate the back fat! (and the "shelf")

I agree wanna????

Body shapers help a bit with the lumps. Wish they would disappear tho... Also. Those shapers go on from the bottom up. Thanks to a friend for telling me that hint.

I have been aware that a new big bra might help. Just haven't done it lately.... Sigh

[wannaBthinsoon 1,634]

nothing works! I've tried everything!! the big bra, the body shaper (that I didn't know went up from the bottom, till it got wrapped around me like a rubber band, and I couldn't struggle out of it). The hubs got a BIG laugh out of that! He had to tug it off of me! HA! Sooooo ready for this surgery!!

I am 7 months post op and only loss 50 pounds as well. I am just a slow loser. I lost my backside and my legs first. Then my face,the hump on the back of my neck and my chin. The stomach is stubborn as all get out! That's my biggest problem. You will notice inches before the movement of the scale most of the times.

You know I asked my doctor the same thing..he said we lose it from the strangers places first. Our feet, toes, fingers, face anywhere that doesn't have a ton of fat. Also from around inside or organs. Don't stress he said if you don't see the difference right off the bat. It kinda sucks cause I need to loss off my belly. It will happen. I take pics every monday in the same clothes and I guess I see a lil difference but I definitely want to see more!

I loose my weight from my head, down. First my face, then my neck, etc...

[sleevemom88 217]

My legs!!!! If I didn't have knee high boots I never would have noticed. That and my neck. I've lost equally elsewhere because my shape looks identical to day 1 but I'm down 6 pant sizes so idk

[Swampdoggie 477]

My butt and legs are what I've noticed but have had comments on my face and have changed 3 notches on my wrist fitbit band. NOT losing in my belly. I now have droopy diaper butt syndrome in my pants but my waist still demands a bigger size. But I definitely feel better.

[Elode 8,093]

I think I lost mine in my face and waist first , now it's just everywhere...

[wannaBthinsoon 1,634]

Oh man @@Elode I want mine gone from everywhere too! now! lol

[Elode 8,093]

@@wannaBthinsoon Oh it will. I wish my legs would catch up!
