Collar Bones-- When did you start to notice them



Recommended Posts

Lost 80 plus pounds and I not only see them, I push on them to make sure they are real. Lol They had gone into hiding years ago. ????????????????

I have had this on my mind also. I have noticed just since the holiday weekend this month, I've started to feel them. They are slowly coming out. I've lost 80 pounds, 5 months postop. 260#

Bodies are weird. We're all built differently. My collar bones have never really showed but right now at 171 and 5 feet tall I can inexplicably see rib.

I started noticing my collar bones about 6-7 month mark. They are not where I want to be just yet. But I do catch myself looking at it in the mirror.

I've recently become interested in collar bones. I was flipping through some old pics and I never really noticed or cared that I had them. Now that I don't... apparently the appearance of collar bones are a hug NSV (non scale victory) and symbolize significant weight loss. I'm sure it's going to be different for everyone but I'm just curious at approx. what weight did you start to see them? No matter how I twist and hunch-- I cant find them anywhere! I feel them though-- looking forward to reuniting with them LOL!

3 months. It was the strangest feeling ever! I didn't even know what those were.. Now sometimes my hands go there and touch them while I am not even thinking and it makes me smile..

I have collar bones!!

Well, I am not sure when my collar bones came out. However, the next thing I notice was my hip bones. I never had big hips. However, I never remember feeling my hip bones before losing weight. Apparently, they have lived under my belly for the last 16 years. Lol ????

I love the way my body is changing! Working out and eating healthy is taking my body to new places! I am forever sleeved and in this journey towards greater health.

I started at 370, when I got to about 260 my collar bones were very visible, but like another poster, they were always there just barely. I never had a fat neck and could always wear normal chokers and necklaces. Now at 218 they are really popping. I could put roll of quarters in them. My neck veins are really popping also. I look pretty thin shoulders up. Also I have visible veins popping up all over my body.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
