Where on you did you first notice weight lose



Recommended Posts

Was wondering where on yourself did you notice the weight loss first. For me it was hands and forearms followed by face and neck area. Dead last was waist (belly)

For me it was my face, then I rapidly noticed that my waist was getting smaller, then after a few months I noticed my arms and back fat disappearing! I am just glad it is going, going gone!

For me it was my waist, then my face, then my hands and feet, then my hips sorta...and kinda my arms lol...although they just kinda jiggle don't really notice them getting smaller, but definitely see a huge difference everywhere else. Body dysmorphia is real!

What little bit I've,lost so far pre surg my belly has got less firm. Not jigglely but softening down . And my face has gotten thinner but I was giving credit to age not weight,loss. My arms, wrists and fingers never were fat. My rump and thighs--' that is a different story. I could smother a full grown person with my rotund rump. The day I can sing Bye Bye Buttocks Bye Bye will be a happy day in Chez Frust8.[emoji7] And the Thunder Thighs won't even be a soft rain. I'll go through liquid shake Hades to achieve thst, yogurt and popsicle myself,to the verge of extinction. You all did it, well by gum I can do it too![emoji324][emoji324][emoji324]

I lost pretty much in the reverse sequence of how I gained. I lost in the waist first and lost a lot. Then in my back, shoulders, arms, then face/neck. I have lost very few inches in my hips and thighs.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
