Face neck shoulders and wrists and hands. I'm happy my girls are hanging in there...if anything boobs are getting bigger. Weird.

Perhaps it isn't that they are getting any bigger, but the rest of you is getting smaller? Then they look bigger on your body?

Hey, it happens to some guys in a different part of the body.... :o

Hi!

My face first, and belly. Then, all of a sudden, I have ankles and could buy nice open toe sandals!

Luka Beth, I think that because you are getting smaller, the boobs seem bigger. Lol

I have noticed it in my face definitely.. But I do look overall smaller.. It's a nice feeling to here my boss tell me how great I'm looking especially because she isn't one for giving compliments :) felt good. :)

My hands had to get my rings sized, should have it done again but I have chosen speed bumps so they don't spin on my finger. Other than that I haven't seen too much change.

Tummy (after swelling went down)

My face and my tummy first. Seems like everything else took forever!

First my face, shoulders, side arms. Now my belly, waist and hips. Oh and my wrist, which is weird.

Face and stomach. Face is the most obvious for me.

I lost a whole shoe size, my pants got longer (or is that thighs thinner?), I had to have my wedding rings re-made with a hinge because they kept spinning so much even the hump would not work.

My Tiffany necklace that was a choker (not meant to be) now sits beautifully on my neck. My face is WAY different (see my before and after pics on my profile). I don't recognize myself in old photos.

Congrats, Cocoabean!! And LoL @"not supposed to be"

Hey, at least you HAVE old photos... I probably have ONE at my biggest (before losing 40 on Atkins) and that's it!

Take pictures! I don't have pics of me at my biggest either because like most heavy people, I hated how I looked. I regret that now. Because the best advice I got from a fellow bandster was to take pictures, every week, without fail. And in the weeks where the scale didn't move, those pictures kept me going.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
