My face was the first thing I noticed.

They say, when losing weight, fat is lost from the most recent place it was stored.

So it takes a long time to lose weight in areas like the stomach and hips

- which are the first places we tend to store fat.

For me, I only gained weight in my face in the last 3 years pre-op,

and that's where I saw the most changes right after surgery.

I started in a 46DD. I'm now wearing a 40 D or DD depending on brand. I'm wearing my bras on the 3rd hook, so I'm think I should be able to try a 38 D /DD soon, even if I need to use a bra extender for a little while.

I'm about half way to my goal, so I'm hoping for a 34/36 D when all is said and done

@@byebyefat thanks! My surgery was 4/28, I'm 5 months out.

I went back to work at 3 weeks post op, so I vividly remember how I felt. Lots of uncertainty for me, and hopefulness. Now I'm just confident!

Face definitely, followed closely by butt. Boobs sadly, are still in the Grand Tetons arena.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
