Where are you noticing it?



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to know where you all are seeing your weight loss. I finally have cheek bones again! I have also lost some of my chest (thank god) but I am not noticing it anywhere. 21lbs seems like so much, you think you would see it more. Oh yeah I am wearing my rings again!!:clap2:

I am noticing it in my clothes now. They are okay just out of the dryer but after a couple of hours I look all droopy. My face and chest and neck is the first place I loose.

My hubby looked at me one day and said wow! you can really tell in your face how much weight you have lost! That was my first nsv! Then my coworkers were making fun of me bc my clothes are too big on me now! But I told them that I was gonna wear them until they fell off!! LOL

I waqs walking with a friend across the park yesterday and my 8 year old son yelled, "Mom, you are already getting skinnier!" I was embarressed, but jumping up and down on the inside. If my 8 year old notices then that's a pretty good sign. When we got to the car I asked him where he thought I was skinnier, and he said in my legs.

I was changing the sheets on my uncle's bed (he lives with me and DH) and he said my A$$ is getting smaller! I had to laugh as I told this 80 year old gent to stop checking out my A$$! He has also told me my face looks thinner. I don't see it myself other than in my clothes.

I'm seeing it in a lot of ways now (41 lbs will do that for you).

- I'm down between 2 and 3 sizes (depending on where I try on clothes). I can't put things in my pockets or my pants fall off! Even the pants that come close to fitting now have that nasty droop in the front crotch area. Eek!

- legs are crossing more easily (still not the ladylike approach but things aren't falling asleep as much)

- the seatbelt buckle doesn't jab my hip any more

- no more double chin and the cheekbones are showing

- collar bones are starting to show and I can almost feel my hipbones

- chairs fit better (I even had extra room in an old theatre chair the other night!

- I'm now doing 3 laps at the dog park relatively easily

- people who don't know I had surgery are noticing

- my brother now calls me "slim" (even though I'm not even halfway yet). I love my brother!

It feels great, doesn't it?!

My SHOES are falling off! Not exactly where I was looking for a loss but I will take it!

In addition, I am no longer resembling a pot-bellied pig! My dress pants for work all look quite funny in the front - too baggy!

This is just great - I am so happy with the band!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
