I have kneecaps! I forgot I even had them since I had so much fat around my knee.

Anyone else discover a body part they didn't think they actually had?

Hi:

My collar bones showed up after many years of not seeing them.

Enjoy your knee caps!

I love my band and my new flat tummy!

I'm beginning to realize that I actually have slender shoulders. And I can feel my hip bone! Who Knew?!

Angel1955, welcome to lap band talk. There are lots of wonderful people here to talk to. Feel free to pm me with any concerns. I'm only four months out, and yes, I was scared, many of us were, so you're in good company. It's the best thing I've ever done!

Yes I have very bony shoulders too. When I lay down on the couch it hurts because I don't have no padding there no more. It's great! Hopefully i'll get a bony butt!

Hi Angel! Welcome to LBT. Good luck with your seminar. You won't be sorry! This was my 1st major surgery since I had my tonsils removed when I was 4 and it was no problem. Good luck with your journey hope it goes well for you!

As the months pass you'll notice more and more. I have shins now, ankles, a rib cage, collar bones, hip bones, a chin and tiny little wrists. None of my rings fit. They all fall off! My hands don't even look familiar. My shoe size has gone from a 7 to a 6. Being able to cross my legs again after years was my big milestone!

I now have a chin, narrow face, knee caps, shoulder blades, hip bones. I now love wearing tops that emphasize my shoulders & neck. My shoe size went from a 9.5/10 to an 8.5. I can now wear a size 6 ring. All my old rings are way too big (like 8's).This past winter I bought 2 pair of tall boots b/c my calves were finally small enough to zip them.

within the last week or so my son found my shoulder bones! I was rocking him before bed (he's three) and he actually moved off my shoulder to my chest because it hurt his head where he was laying on my shoulder. the next night he did it again and said it was "too bony" (quoting me from the night before)...who'da thunk it?

Crishell - I cannot wait to finally be able to buy a pair of tall boots and be able to zip them up!!! It's going to be a while because I have fat calves.

      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.
