Where is the weight coming off?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I started the pre-OP liquid diet on Nov 1 at 351 lbs. In the past two weeks Ive cut roughly 26lbs from my overall weight. I was just wondering where do people typically start noticing a difference?

You're very fortunate for such rapid loss. I'm in my 10th week post-op and am down 34 lbs :) I'm still happy with my slower progress as well though. For me it's coming off proportionate overall, though I am down 2 bra sizes and my current one is starting to get loose. Not where I want to lose it :)

Butt. I dropped pant size pretty quickly. While my arms too reduced, too much skin making it hard to go down passed XL in long sleeves. Sleeveless I'm already in a M or L.

Everywhere! Most notably my gut, which is where I carried most of my weight anyway.

Depends on where the person is looking....

The higher your starting weight, the longer it takes people to notice. I started at 247, and no one noticed until about 215. It really showed in my face first.

My face, boobs (down two bra sizes) and waist/belly. Legs and hips, not so much, yet. (visualize a pear, lol).

In my belly some (skin is trying to kiss in the middle), the thighs for sure and even in the naughty bits!

      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.
