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.

      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.
