Where did you lose first?



Recommended Posts

Hello, I was just wondering how the weight came off on everyone...did it come off your stomach first...or your butt...or you legs...etc? If I'm going to visualize myself losing weight, I want to do it correctly! Nicole :biggrin1:

I'm sure it is definately different for everyone. Me myself, lost it around my hips and butt first. Also my face. I probably have lost alot around my belly but there is just so much there that it doesn't look as drastic yet.

For me it was my upper body - shoulders, back, chest. Then my face. Then thighs, and now belly. I'm now about two sizes smaller on top than on bottom. But one of the first visible changes I could see was my collarbones.

Me it was definintely butt, thighs and face first then stomach. I've just lost 60 pounds with 40 more to go but it shows up quick. You'll be amazed how fast it goes.

I seem to lose from the top down. First my face, then chest, arms and back. I was a size smaller on top before my bottom half started to catch up. My belly is still the biggest part of me.

Face & Neck first - then it came off my BACK - I lost those ever so attractive "back boobs" and now it seems to be coming off the core. My belly measurement has dropped pretty dramatically with the last 20 lbs or so.

good luck!! (and take LOTS of pictures - both before and during)

Upper body for me - back, chest, neck, arms. Which surprised me as I'm pretty much a typical pear shape and didnt think I was carrying a lot of weight there. In fact I bought quite a few new tops at the start of our Winter back in May or so thinking that I wouldnt get too small for tops, it'd just pants I'd have to replace - WRONG!

I'm almost at goal weight and I'm really only still carrying around the hips and stomach and thighs - typical of most women probably.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
