Anyone "loose weight" in the eye area?



Recommended Posts

So the top of my eyes below my brows are pretty puffy and have always been, and I've attributed it to my weight. I love doing makeup but hate it because of my eyes, did any of you ladies notice any "weight loss" in the eye area, or is this something I'm just doomed with? Lol

People lose a lot of weight in their faces so I would think you would lose there. I know people who had to get new glasses because their nose got skinnier, people go down in shoe size, people lose all over!

I have noticed i have lost weight in my hands. they arent as puffy. I truly believe when you lose, you lose it everywhere. I have also known others whose faces completely change and they are nearly unrecognizable. It is definitely a possibility!

I need upper and lower eyelid surgery... upper because there is too much fat and lower because there isn't enough/

Go figure :blink:

I knew of a man who decided to lose weight because his facial fat was folding over his face and eyes. So, I'm pretty sure you will lose weight there, as well.

I did. Had to get new glasses. One day at work and I bent over to raise a toilet seat and my glasses fell off my face and into the toilet. I was going to put them on my face again so it was time for new glasses.

Sometimes a "puffier" face is also associated with hypothyroidism (low thyroid). I know from my own experience that once I was diagnosed and on medicine my face de-puffed a lot. Just a thought.

But I still hope to lose some weight in the face area!

@@janedoe92 Ha Ha Ha!! I love this post because I never thought to see someone lose weight around their eyes. But, it is so possible! I've went down half a shoe size and I haven't even had my surgery yet. I can't wait to say good bye to my big rear and hips!

I learn something new every day. This is great!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
