G'day all..

I'm just looking for peoples experiences or thoughts on something I've noticed with me...

I'm losing weight MUCH more quickly on the left side of me than on the right.

My left shoulder, chest, arm and leg are noticably 'leaner' than my right.

The definition in the muscle I built up doing weights prior to my sleeving is much clearer on my left side.

In fact, the only place I'm not losing quicker on my left is facially...

On may face, the right hand side is less fat than the left.

Is anyone else having (or has had) a similar experience?

Do you now have a starboard list ?

Just kidding, man.

Which is your dominant hand ? Maybe that has something to do with it....more development on the dominant side ?????

If I don't concentrate, I end up walking in circles...

Dominant side is my right.

Unless I'm...

Well...

Let's just leave it at that...

@Dub Did you have to ask? The thought of what he might do with either hand makes me queasy.

You have a dirty mind, young lassie. I respect that about ya.

I'm smitten already :D

You must post up some sexy leg photos like @@Elode recently did. :P

Sure does liven things up around here and is a source of inspiration for those of us who are in the weight loss grind phase....

"Young?" Did you call me "young?" Men are so easy. I'm yours. Keep your glasses on and we'll get along famously. The only problem may be that, unlike Marlene Dietrich and @@Elode, I have no need to insure my legs. In fact I have to pay hush money to the insurance salesman to keep my dirty secret. Speaking of "dirty," it's not so much that my mind is such, it's more that some of your brethren are transparent. Speaking further of "dirty," is that what your phrase, "grind phase," is?

See ya 'round, Sailor.

Hmmm... I haven't noticed this happening to me.

Have you taken measurements to compare biceps? I would need numbers to say one side was smaller than the other! ????????

I'll see what I can do about some measurements...

I'll send them to you so you can do your calculations, then get back to me with some good advice... :D

P.S. You, too, fella.

:rolleyes: ........I'd better wait a while before I post up my photos.

Folks may hurt themselves from laughing too hard.

I gotta lot more grinding to do before I'm ready for pic.

Damnitman.......That made me laugh too hard and remind me I'm still healing up. :lol: :lol: :lol:

On a serious note. I'm hoping for equal balancing as things......normalize. It'd be weird having a crooked appendage. I'd feel compelled to tug on it all time.....in hopes of straightening it out. :o

      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!!
