Strange Hard Things Under My Skin....?

  • Popular Post

I've been very concerned about these strange, hard lumpy things under my skin. Some are bumpy and growth-like. Some are long and more smooth. They've been appearing more and more as the days go by. They seem to have something to do with body structure....Oh wait........what?? My husband informs me that these are called "bones." Is anyone else finding weird stuff like this?

    I actually do have a couple lipomas (fatty benign growths) under the skin. I have one on the side of my arm that you can't really see but now that the fat is coming off that's becoming visible. I ha

    I haven't seen too many bones yet, but I have found some muscles that I swear weren't there before.

Yes..I now have ankles...not cankles

I don't know if it's heredity or what, but even when I weighed 125, I think I STILL had cankles. I guess I'm just a "sturdy" girl. HAHAHA (should have been an ice skater, i guess!)

Yes, I've noticed that when I sit on a hard surface I can feel the bones in my butt (must be my pelvis). Normally I have extra padding down there, but I suppose I don't anymore.

I'm still fat! But I'll let you know.

I actually didn't notice this was your post at first, and thinking some lady is going to try and tell me she thinks she has blood clots or IV catheters left in her body or something. :)

Though the other day someone commented that she could really tell I was losing weight, and then specifically used the example of "your collarbones are sticking out everywhere."

WLS people tend to do that. I noticed this like 6 years ago and have no real idea why. We get mad collar bone juttage. I could pass for normal weight from the sternum up, unless you looked at my arms, but from the waist down I'm all Grimace.

LOL!!! I actually have a bony butt now!!! My husband calls me sticks... :D

:o:lol:

I actually tell it much better than I write it with all the gestures and falling motions. One of my goals when I lose the weight is to do stand up comedy.

(Not to be confused with fall down comedy). :P

Don't worry-- it's was hysterical and taught me why my husband makes such a big deal about "nothing on the stairs!!" I used to put laundry on the side to send up later... no more.

:) I was saying on a different thread that I haven't had ribs outside my dinner plate in a while lol... But someday soon I too will see bones on my body...
