Where did you all lose weight from first?



Recommended Posts

I have lost weight in my face, hands, feet, butt and lower body first. I still have more to lose in my legs, but if I lose any more in my butt I won't be able to sit. I never really ever had a big butt - BUT it's pretty much non-existent now. The major place I need to lose weight is my GUT.

Definitely proportionately - but in my face first. Then I notice my waist has gotten much slimmer. I notice it in my chest, others have said my neck and shoulders. I'm taking measurements next week. I'm curious to see how much has come off from each place.

I think I'm losing pretty evenly. My torso has thinned but I still have a tummy pouch I need to work on (exercises) but all my clothes sizes have been shrinking at the same rate.

I've always lost in my lower body first, then face and neck, and belly last. No exception with WLS.

I think I lost fairly proportionally. Smaller shoe size took awhile I think because I didnt have too much Water retention but actual fat on my feet. .:)

After getting to goal, I got about 18# under goal (not really intentionally) and it came 80 percent off my already skinny butt. I lost some in the waist, very little in the upper body. Having that ridiculous top heavy look was one reason I thought I looked a bit thin (well, and I felt like carp)

I am back at goal, tend to be skinny butt and top heavy (not just breasts, but my shoulders and ribcage) but much more proportional.

top down for sure - which I found weird because when I was just-above-normal weight as a young adult, I always carried any excess weight I had high (I had a flat butt, no hips, and chicken legs). As someone above said, now my hips (and gut) are hanging on for dear life!

I can see my ribs above my boobs when not wearing a bra and the other day I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror while getting into the shower and I could see ribs in my BACK! Yet somehow I'm still wearing size 12 jeans.

I lost in the face first, which is also where I always gain first. I also noticed my shoes fitting more loosely pretty early on, and my legs slimming down.

I'm less than 5 lbs from goal, but I am struggling with getting my waist slimmer--I wanted it to be under 30", ideally 28", and it's still between 30" and 31". But my middle is also when I have the most loose skin, so that may just be how it is.:/

It started in my face first, and then I discovered the collar bone that I didn't even know I have. Right now its legs and some in the stomach, even though I still sometimes see the same person in the window, clothes sizes are dropping

I'm opposite of you. I lost bottom up. My boobs were the last to go. And like @@Miss Mac, I've still got a tummy roll that I probably won't lose without the help of surgery ;)

I feel better knowing this is possible. I was really starting to freak out! My face is so thin looking now and my body is just so...disappointing for the 69lbs I've lost so far. I really wish I could lose some belly or some hips....something!

      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.
