Hands?

This is going to sound really silly, but I have "working hands" and stubby sausage fingers. Even after my mom got big, she maintained a delicacy to her hands and other features that I was always envious of. Now I'm wondering what my own hands might look like after I drop some weight.

Did you folks notice a big difference in your hands? Anyone have pictures?

None of my rings fit me anymore...None of my wedding rings fit me anymore.....I am perplexed!

Hands shrink some. My feet shrunk too. i didn't get before pix, I don't really see a difference, but rings and shoes fit differently.

I can see a difference in my hands - I'm just over 4 weeks out.

My rings fit better than they did before. My husband commented that my fingers don't look like little sausages (in a nice way). :-)

How can someone say that nice :blush:

i loved it when my hubby told me my ass was smaller..But he keeps telling me now to stop losing weight on my ass..Apparently it has disappeared....your hubby sounds like a cutie!!!! Real you know!!!!!!!!

He is surely a keeper - I don't think anyone else would put up with my **stuff**!

Mine have shrunk. My fingers look longer and thinner, but I don't have any pics. Someone said to me the other day, "Those don't even look like your hands anymore." The only problem is that they look much older.

I am 3 weeks out and I can already tell a difference in my rings, so I think they will shrink.

My hands are thinner. Was a size 8 ring, about 6.5 now. My feet went from tight 10 to 8.5 or 9.

My wedding ring finger went from a 7 to a 5.5 in 6 weeks. I can tell my hands and feet are slimmer (who the hell knew I had fat feet too?). Interestingly, my hands do not look older but I think I know why. When I decided to have this surgery my attitude toward myself changed. Before, I put hand cream on because they ached in dry climates and in the winter. I started paying a lot more attention to myself and even more after the weight started coming off. I do take daily fish oil now, but I also started going to Lush to get very nice moisturizers and bath bombs. I can tell a difference in my skin everywhere. And bonus! Most of the items are solids and not creams, which means they can come on the plane with me!
