I have a question please which seem silly



Recommended Posts

My rings are in my jewelry box. I have a very petite custom engagement ring. I talked my now husband into something smaller, but custom that we worked with the jeweler to design. I have to have him size it, as it is a pressure set ring, so unless I want to have a big gob of white gold added to the interior of my ring making it heavy and uncomfortable, I will just wait to have it sized. I am going down nearly 3 sizes. But I want to be at goal 6 months, and know for sure that my weight is stable, the jeweler told us sizing is really only a one time thing with this ring. So I didn't wear it while pregnant, and now that it's huge on me, I have it in a locked jewelry box.

Please, please, please don't wear stainless steel rings. They are nearly impossible to get off if you break or badly cut your finger. Bone is much easier to cut than stainless steel....and you don't want to lose that battle with your jewellery!

As for the topic at hand...yes, you lose weight in your hands. And, I had always heard that women like shoes so much because you don't gain weight in your feet, so it's your one size that stays relatively stable. That is a LIE! I have bad feet, so all of my shoes are very expensive, and I looked long and hard for each and every pair. I'm really sad at saying goodbye to some of them...not sad enough to put the weight back on, though!

My calves are still "ginormous" lol :P

Ughhh, thanks for this information. I was hoping to NOT have to see my neighborhood cobbler anymore for calf extensions on my boots. Time will tell...

My rings in my early 20's were I 5 and I think they are now a 9. I also have huge calves and cankles! URGH. I have a skinny picture from age 20 where my calves look great and hoping they will again.

Yes, they got thinner for me. My ring size was a 10, now it is a 6.5. It is very nice not to have sausage fingers anymore! ;)

Oh I hope this happens for me too!!! I also wear a size 10 (or 9.5). I want to wear pretty rings but my fat fingers just look fatter with rings right now :rolleyes:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
