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.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
