Fun: Surprises after weight loss



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I'm 40/150 down. I've noticed my EARLOBES have lost weight!

What surprises have you experienced?

In the past, when I lost about 50 pounds, my feet lost about 1/2 shoe size. I'm curious to see what size my feet will be when I'm 100+ down.

I have lost about 100 pounds and my shoe size went down one. It is too funny.

I have noticed that when I drive or sit for extended periods I end up hunched over almost like I am crouching. The fat that used to hold me up is gone.

Oh, and I also looked at my wife's breasts the other day and noticed something sticking out below my gut which I have not seen for over 15 years!

40 pounds down (preop) and I found face wrinkles. Not too upset about it.... except I still have another 140 to lose so I can't wait to see how many more wrinkles pop up [emoji15].
Oh the joys of fatty filler.

I know my tailbone hurts when I sit too long. I have a coccyx cushion in my car. Lol

In the past as I lost weight my pants got longer. Pants that were the perfect length started to rub the ground and get caught under my heels. I guess they hung lower and there wasn't as much width to fill them out.

Also, you always think to buy new clothes, but don't always remember to replace undergarments because they have a decent amount of stretch, until they don't. I was at the gym one day doing Zumba and my underwear fell down inside my work out pants. Luckily I had the pants on to keep them from hitting the ground, I'd hate to think if I was out somewhere dressed in a skirt!

      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.
