I guess we started around the same surgery weight and you're a week a head of me and already in onederland. :-) I hope a I can say the same thing a week from now!!! 9 pounds in one week might be a stretch though, but ya never know.

I have lost from everywhere but a good 5 inches from my waist and abdomen and 3 from hips . Only one from my thighs but that is always the last to go ., Well, there's pluses and minuses. Although I am sure I had a little excess fat all over (definitely my face), most of it was in my abdomen (a lot of if the bad visceral fat). That's the sign of insulin resistance and T2DM. So, while it's all coming off in one place (and I may be looking a lot thinner faster), having T2DM, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, triglycerides and generally being a high risk for stroke and cardiac disease is not cool at all!! Hence, the reason I got this surgery. Women may carry the weight in their arms, legs, thighs, butt and some subcutaneous fat in their stomach--they usually don't get that bad visceral fat that is so dangerous. So, it may take women longer to see the results of their weigh loss (since it's coming from all over their bodies), it's still a better way to carry your weight than they way I am/was. I still have 40 pounds to go to reach my goal (although 30 would still put my at the weight I was when I was a trainer in college 22 years ago). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarahulu 2 Posted January 18, 2019 I am 6 weeks post-op and I was feeling great until suddenly this week my shoulders and upper back are killing me. Anyone experiencing or experienced something like this? They feel so heavy.Sent from my SM-G925W8 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
