The transformation has begun

Ok, I've had 2 big "rolls" of fat - one above my waist (below breasts) and one below my waist. Today I just realized that the roll of fat above my waist is SMALLER! When I look down my front, I used to just see that roll of fat above my waist. Now, I can barely see it (past my breasts that is) and very obviously see the roll of fat below my waist.

Strange I know to be excited to see a roll of fat - but I am! I never thought I would see a difference in my body so quickly! Woo Hoo!!!!

Isn't that a great feeling? And you're in for a whole lot more of those nice experiences in your journey. :-) Congratulations!!

That is great news. I asked my husband this morning if he could tell a difference, and he said yes....a roll on my back is gone. LOL Normally that would hurt my feelings that he noticed I have fat rolls on my back....but it made me happy. :lol:

I can tell a difference already in my clothes. The capris I'm wearing today are really lose. Maybe in another week or two I can buy something smaller. woo hoo.

well I can hardly let you two have all the fun. I bought a new belt that I could barely buckle before surgery knowing that I would fit into it just fine in a couple of weeks. yesterday I wore it on the third hole all day and wasn't in the least uncomfortable. I was ordering a pull over as a fundraiser for my kids high school football team and I ordered an XL not a XXXL. I actually tried one on and I got it on, it was tight but I got it on. That's enough for now...I don't want to highjack your thread too much.

Congrats to both of you fircrackers. Can't wait to hear about all of the changes to come.

That's great! In a month or so you are going to be amazed at how many more changes your body will go through! So exciting!!!! :)

LOL Nancy!!!! I have/had the SAME TWO ROLLS!!! :-) Same experience with the "top" one melting LOL. I just loved your post. I never said out loud what you posted but kept observing the change! :-) Thanks for the post!

Nancy I have had a similar experience. What is really interesting to me is that my stomach is usually not what shows weightloss first. I usually (according to my husband) show it in my rearview first. Yesterday he told me he could see it in my shoulder area and I have noticed my t-shirts hang differently now. I will take weightloss however I can get it but to see it in an area that is usually hard for me to lose is great. Thanks for starting the thread!

Awesome!!!! It is a bit strange how we celebrate our victories, but regardless they ARE all victories!!! May you continue to indulge in them every chance you get :)

SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have always said I had spare tires for a dually truck! My surgery should be in october. And with a great surgeon and a great support group I will shed my "tires" too! So excited for all of us!

These are the priceless moments I can't wait to have! Honey I have so many rolls to get rid of I can open my own bakery! I'm ready to put the going out of business on my bakery door :closed_2: ! CONGRATS YOU'RE DOING AWESOME!!! Make sure you take pics of your journey!! :cheer2:
