Kind of all over. It's hard to tell sometimes. I'll think that one area isn't budging and then all of a sudden I'll notice that something is looser on it. I thought I wasn't losing much up top, but I think my poor boobs are smaller. My XL jacket is now swimming on me and it was tight when I originally got it. All my clothes are baggy. My ring is loose that I wear to work in place of my wedding band (to prevent damage). And I could almost swear that my feet feel like they're sliding around in my shoes.

It's hard to tell unless you measure yourself in addition to weighing. That's why I measure once a month. I look forward to measuring again on the 15th because it feels like I've lost inches all over. I think it takes awhile for your body to catch up. Who knows?

I can no longer wear any of my rings . My wedding band I had to stop wearing a long time ago because it got too small, so im almost able to wear it again .

My anniversary band is now on my middle finger and is about to be too big for it . All my other rings are off , I dont want to get them sized until im done loosing .

I think I'm losing kind of evenly all over, altho I was always a size bigger on bottom than on top. I know my butt is smaller. :clap2: But even after only losing 18 pounds, my legs look awful. I know they will need PS.

My neck, before banding had a turkey waddle :eek:and that's getting worse and we don't even want to talk about the "overhang" known as my belly.:faint:

I was self pay for the band when ins. was dragging their feet and that was my PS money, so we'll have to figure something out later.

First things first. Lose the weight. Opps, I got that wrong... first things first, GET RESTRICTION, then lose weight, then maintain weight, then get PS on something, then get more PS on something else..... OMG, I can't even think of all this right now and it's making me hungry!:hungry:

I stopped taking my measurements out of frustration. I started at 53-47-53 (about, I'm at work and don't have the chart here).

Now I am 46-41-46.

That's not a huge leap to me, and it annoys me. AND when I'm trying to find new clothes online, sizing charts never have 46-41-46.. it's always like 46-38-54. !?

I am an apple so the # 1 place I lose weight is in my butt and legs. I look like a giant lollipop/popsicle bc my legs have gotten so skinny and my center is so thick! My pants are all way baggy in the but and legs, but snug on the waist.

Remember that Sir Mix-a-lot song "Baby got back"? He raps "little in the middle, but she got much back" Well my version is "Thick in the middle, ain't got much back" I sing it all the time, lol. Eventually I have to lose weight in my center...right?

I am losing inches in my butt and legs which is a good thing. I know my stomach is going down too. I can also see it in my face. I can actually pull my jeans off without unbuttoning them. That is very cool. I know my boobs will shrink but I haven't noticed much yet.

:clap2:

Everyone it is so interesting to see that most are losing evenly. So am I. You can see my face is thinning and my chins are down to two rather than one HUGE chin. That's where I hear it most from folks, that my face and stomach look so thin. My stomach use to hang very low (and swing when I walked fast)...yeah, nice visual, aye? But it is drawing up and in. It isn't so TIGHT now. I notice it all over.

Ok...so I'm getting close to the 50 lb mark. All my shoes are too big. Had to get new bras 25 pounds ago. Everything is getting smaller. I can cross both legs easily now! But I wish the belly part would go faster, especially down low. I think that's the most uneven part. Seems like it just gets flabbier and saggier instead of smaller. Gravity is NOT helping me here.

Those of you at or close to goal.....does it even out eventually???

      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.
