Where do you lose your weight?



Recommended Posts

So I'm 4 months out and 40 pounds down. I've started (finally!) to notice differences particularly in the size of my clothing and how things fit...and I admit that I've taken to standing naked in front of the mirror...(something I can say I did NOT do before...avoided that at all costs...)

And so far...my weight is coming off in my boobs (Boooo!) and my stomach. I confirmed it with measurements...

What I want to know is when that lower belly...(Ooooh that overhang lower belly that is just killing me) is going to depart.

With my luck it will be the last thing to go.

:P

Where are you shedding your weight?

Everyone is different so no one can answer that for you.

Unfortunately, for many of us it never departs, especially if it's already hanging down. It turns into a skin apron that continues to hang and is the reason many of us (myself included) need surgery to remove it.

Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones, though. Keep your fingers crossed.

Boobs, face, arms and butt. I'm going to need some extra help in the belly area.

Every where. A lot people lose in their shoe size, but never me, the size 12. My width did go down to a medium from a wide. I take my measurements once a month but didn't think of it until 1 1/2 months after the surgery. I have been bad for about 2 months so I have not taken any but I may soon.

Anna girl you crack me up. I can honestly say all over for me but my boobs first yay however on my part as they were in my way. As far as my belly, I do hang, probably always will as Missy said but you exercise constantly so you may not have that problem. Even my feet shrunk.

Feeling your pain there...my boobs already going... Hubby is and has been fully supportive of my band. When we first talked about it , he asked if my boob's would go, I said , most probably. If they keep going at this rate, next year I'll be having a boob job :-)

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
