Thanks for explaining. I was just curious because you said you didn't feel different after such a great loss :)

And I love to hear of another girl who wants an hourglass figure. I couldn't be a 00 if my life depended on it!

I'm just turning 50 this year and I will say that as I lose weight I see some wrinkles in my face that were well hidden in blubber LOL I'm starting to see my mother peek out from my mirror and spend a little time each morning pulling my cheeks and jawline back to see what a mini facelift would do heh heh I always said those were ridiculous...but ummmmm well they're sounding pretty smart lately LMAO My only fear...after having all the complications I did with this would be they'd relocate an eyeball to my chin or something....

Lmao.. you are becoming too funny. I probably will need an all over body over haul. Before I know it my boobs are going to be at my waist line (lol) and my arms already look like bat wings.. I have to walk around like I am conceited ...my face and nose pointing up to keep my neck stretched. OMG. I am going to be an old saggy 50 yr old woman. I still need 40 lbs to go. Oh no I am freaking out. I know this is part of the WL and I know some of the sagginess well get better if I just add firming and resistance training. I will just take it one day at a time.

I am 5'3.5 when I started I was 243lbs in August 2012.

Size 20-22 pants 1-2x tops

Shoe 9W

DOS 227 lbs. 10/31

2 week post op follow up visit 209 Dow 18.5 lbs!!

I always thought I was really large framed but now not so sure. Now I can wear an XL-L top and 16-18 pants and they are baggy.

Tried on my 24 year old daughters jeans the other day and they were big!!! And I didn't care she just had a baby a couple of weeks ago lol.

I think I SEE the weight lost most in my feet. They are obviously thinking out and all my dress shoes won't stay on because they are all too wide.

I am 5'5" and 330. Highest weight was 360, but that was several years ago and I've been bouncing between 315 and 340 for the past several years. I am hoping to have surgery the first week in April and I want to be under 300 pounds by then... even if it's 299!

In Lane Bryant sizes I wear a size 24 or 26 top and 28 bottom as long as it is "generous" through the legs. I'm definitely a "pear"

I always thought I was "big-boned" too. That is what everyone told me and that is what I thought too! I am only 5'3" and always wore a size 8.5-9 shoe size. Now that I have lost the weight, have gotten down to a weight I never even thought possible, everyone tells me how tiny I am!! I now wear a size 4/6, small or x-small tops and had to have my ring sized down to a size 6.5! You will be surprised what kind of thin person is in there!!

You could still be big boned bc at 5'3 you aren't wearing a size 0. I really do believe I am big boned because my wrists have no chub on them at all and the bones are huge . That being said I believe at 5'2 I could still be a 4/6 but never a 00/0 .I dont think being big boned is an excuse for me to wear a size 16 though lol it's all the fat on top of the bones;)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
