My weight came off my face and stomach first. My thighs seem to be more stubborn.

I'm just kinda shrinky dinkin' all over, really. I especially notice it where I had liposuction and surgical removal of fat and muscle when I had my reconstruction surgeries for BC. I feel sooooo small and flat on my upper body. Even my lymphedema in my left arm, left chest, left back are going down and leaving wibbly wobbly skin in its wake. I'm also losing the fat hump on the back of my neck. My face is also getting thin, and I've lose 1 1/2 of my 3 chins.

Slow to go is my lower tummy, booty, and thunder thighs...but I plan on sending them to the starving children in China at some undefined point this year. :D

We have no control over where we hold weight when we gain it. We also have no control where it comes off. Mine came off my face and lower body first. My lower body was smaller than the top. it took time for the weight to come off my midsection and arms.

My first to go are fingers, feet, and boobs. Like, c'mon. Everything eventually has shrunk but my hips are taking their sweet sweet time!

I've heard for guys the stomach is hardest to lose, women it's hips and thighs.

I'm stressing about my boobs deflating. I don't want to be left with two long empty things flapping In the wind. I predict I will have to get implants at some point. Considering I'm a DDD cup now, it's hard to imagine.

I was an F but now I'm probably a C since none of my D bras fit. I was planning on getting a reduction but.... I don't know how the surgeon I had seen is going to feel about doing that when he sees me again in April. I would love to get a lift but since insurance don't pay for that.... Might have to wait til I'm working. Lol

It sucks that my boobs seem to look older than me but I'd rather my boobs be smaller than what they were.

It's hard to say where the weight came off, exactly - I noticed the thinning in my face first, but didn't really start feeling different until my pants sizes went down. A short time later, I surprised myself by *running* after my kids, (not that sad, painful, jog which was all I could manage before). There is some loose skin (I'm smaller, but squishier). The weirdest part is, I think my feet shrank judging by the fit of last year's boots. I suppose it went face, tummy and thighs, bra size, fingers & toes.

      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.
