I have lost close to thirty pounds total. 13 since surgery on jan 22 and I people tell me they a see it in my face. Last night I could really see it in my hands of all places. My fingers aren't as fat and stubby as they use to be.

Generally you lose weight the opposite of how you put it on.

So if you had a tummy and then thickened you're tummy will probably be the last thing to go but if you have a large frame and slowly got a larger waistline then your tummy will shrink quickly but otherwise your weightloss might be harder to notice.

In my case my weight came off everywhere but more in some areas and less in others. For example, my "girls" lost significant volume almost immediately, I went from a G cup to a D cup pretty quickly. Whereas my mons (pubic region) doesn't seem to want to let go of it! I hate being fat there and so when I have cosmetic surgery next month he is going to do some Lipo on the mons area in addition to my thighs. Plus extended Tummy Tuck and breast lift with implants plus arm lift... and that's just surgery #1.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
