I have a collar bone



Recommended Posts

Hi there thirties...I got a new haircut last night and when I got home, my boys wanted to take pictures. I couldn't believe that they were me. I actually looked "skinny". Tell me what you think...the first picture is my "before" picture (April 2007), the other two were last night. Sorry that they are a little blurry...my boys are 5 and 7...a little shaky taking pictures.

Hi:

You do have collar bones! You look great.

I found my collar bones too. I'm melting from the head down. First I noticed that some of my chins were gone, then I noticed that I had collar bones, then I noticed that my boobs seem bigger because there's not as much fat under them. I'm hoping that I can lose some of this belly. Seems to be the worst part for me, the lower belly. Plastic surgery here I come......next year.

Congratulations on your collar bones.

Sue

Back when I was in research mode, one of the things I saw consistently was very pronounced shoulder area features in all WLS patients. All that I saw pics of, anyway. This seems to be the first area we lose, but also where a huge difference is made. At this weight on my way up, my collar bones didn't protrude as much as they do now. I even have that little identation in my neck, and I was like 180 the last time I had that.

Gotta <heart> collarbones! They make us look skinny from the neck up!!

Thanks guys...I appreciate all the kind words. I've been slacking on my diet and exercise the last two weeks because I have been sick. I need to jump on that treadmill and get things back on track. I want to get to a 100 pound loss before my one year bandiversary. I know I can do it. I only have 13 pounds to go and I have two and a half months to do it. However...I would LOVE to get there by my sons birthday (3/18). Wish me luck!!! Good luck to all of you too.

      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. 🤞
