What's up with WLS people & collar bones?

So - take the question in the light it's meant, but seriously -- you guys have some of the biggest collar bones I've ever seen. And that's not just LB, that's DS, RNY, etc. They're way more protrusive than others I know who have lost the same weight through diet & exercise.

Between the neck & breastbone, everyone looks like they're about 15# below goal. :biggrin1:

I noticed the same phenomenon and love my collarbone. My husband was rubbing my shoulders awhile ago and felt my shoulder blades. He didn't know that is what they were and just thought I was really tense and had built up a mass of tense muscles. I nearly fell down laughing at his shock to find they were actual and true bones!

I shocked myself recently while rubbing up against a door jamb to scratch an itch. (What, doesn't everyone do that? :( )

These two big hard things were getting stuck on the jamb every time I moved back and forth. I was laughing when I realized they were my own shoulder blades! Not bones I'm very familiar with, sad to say.

DH used to lay in my "nook" and say how soft it was. Now he's finding a hard time getting to a soft spot because 1) my boobs have gone down a lot, and 2) my collar bone is sticking out.

I'm wearing a Mardi Gras mask conversing with someone wearing a snorkle.
Hey, that's nothing! You should have seen me about 30 mins before that picture was taken, cruising around 120 ft. underwater, sucking down Nitrox. THAT would be a good avatar! But not nearly as good as the wetsuit/mardi gras combo!

Just today my DH was laying down with me and he said "Holy crap! You have ribs under there!" Who knew?, lol.

I love collar bones - I think they're sexy.
