Am I the only one? Ive only lost 30lbs but that is 30lbs of my boobs and butt that I dont wanna lose. I love my curves. I had to have sex with the lights off now because I'm self conscious of of my smaller boobs and scars. I know I spoke about this before getting my surgery and everyone reassured me...but now I'm scared because its getting real.

"only 2 sizes" is WONDERFUL and right on target. Every 20 pounds is one dress size...so you're progress is right where it should be :-)

My weight is perfectly proportioned all over my body. The plus side of this (see what I did there?) is that at 264 pounds, I could wear a comfortable size 20 at 5'3". The downside is that after 40 pounds lost, because I am losing it allllll over, I have "only" shrunk 2 sizes (and the 16Ws are snug, something I don't love the look of) and only one person who didn't know about this surgery has commented on my progress.

Weight loss gets rid of the fat but doesn't change your body type. I will ALWAYS be short waisted and big-butted/extremely hippy. I lose weight from the top of my head down to the top of my thighs. (Luckily I have very pretty calves) You can focus on the negatives but to what end? I am celebrating my face not being such a marshmallow, I am excited that shirts are fitting better and know that it will be a long time before the butt/hips give me any satisfaction at all. Try to find things about yourself that you like. For me it is my calves and my nose, which may be weird but everybody has to find their thing to get them through.

I am still pre-op, but read a lot of forums and many folks report that they lose in their bust, face and arms first. The ONLY thing I enjoy about being fat is that I have a bust, so that will probably be the first thing to go for me! LOL
