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!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
