Collarbones



Recommended Posts

I love my collar bones but my wtf moment was when I hit my hip bone with my wrist. I looked up thinking something was resting there like a book or whatever. I realized what it was and just sat there not really comprehending it. Then I got the biggest grin! Now whenever I lay on my side I'm always touching them lol!

I had a similar moment.. except I thought I'd developed some sort of calcified growth in my pelvic area. In total horror and mild panic, I reached for my partners hand to drag it to the location. With total bemusement, he uttered 'thats your hip bone, baby'. :blink:

Now, there's an expensive education for you down the toilet!

<I do molest myself regularly as a consequence now :D>

As I laid down last night in bed. I found not only my ribs but the little tab between my ribs at the top. I forget the name of it. A thought came to mind that if someone had to do CPR on me. It would be easier. Lol. Strange thought I know.

Haha. I found a little bump where my ribs meet at the bottom of my chest and first thing I thought "Cancer!" Thought the same thing about the lump on my right collarbone. My doctor managed to keep a straight face while telling me both were normal at my age (57).

Also, my elbows bumped my hipbones a lot when sitting before I got used to them poking out.

I'm wide hipped, so I also have a huge gap between my thighs when standing.

So true about the collar bones and hip bones. i've also noticed cheek bones. The other bone i'm feeling a lot lately is my tail bone and it really hurts when sitting on the floor to do exercises. I guess I always had a lot of cushion there before now it hurts to sit on a hard surface.

I can totally agree with the bump between my ribs at the bottom (xiphoid process).

I actually went to see my doctor stating I found a lump. He didn't keep a straight face :)

I still say it was never this big, I have been thin before and don't remember noticing it.

I like my collar bones too.

Lynda- you just made me laugh out loud on the cancer "scare". Oh to have thigh gap! The dream!

I remember collar bones as one of my first nsv however my hip bones just confused me. I couldn't figure what they were, I thought something was wrong with me.

and the inside of my kneecaps are hard. if I lay on my side with legs together they actually hurt a bit! no cushioning (or not as much!) in fact if I sit with knees touching there is daylight between upper thighs. I don't remember having that even when I weighed much less than this! the things we appreciate now - collarbones, kneecaps, ribs, hip bones - a appreciate my skeleton so much more now. it used to have to carry around 100+ more pounds! it is about time I appreciated it!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
