I had RNY on 11/9 and I've noticed that I'm losing weight from the top down! It's so weird! My face is thin now and I've lost a couple of top sizes, but my bottom half is still the same size! I feel like one of those bopping balloons or something that you hit and it wobbles but sits right back up! Did anyone else lose like this and when did the bottom half kick in?

Definitely proportionately - but in my face first. Then I notice my waist has gotten much slimmer. I notice it in my chest, others have said my neck and shoulders. I'm taking measurements next week. I'm curious to see how much has come off from each place.

I am so sick of people saying my face is smaller.....uggg. down 47 pounds and my face is thinner? my face must have been big!! lol. my shape has changed and of course my no bum is flatter than ever. my stomach seems the place its not coming off of but my skin is a sagging from my arms

I think I'm losing pretty evenly. My torso has thinned but I still have a tummy pouch I need to work on (exercises) but all my clothes sizes have been shrinking at the same rate.

I've always lost in my lower body first, then face and neck, and belly last. No exception with WLS.

I think I lost fairly proportionally. Smaller shoe size took awhile I think because I didnt have too much Water retention but actual fat on my feet. .

After getting to goal, I got about 18# under goal (not really intentionally) and it came 80 percent off my already skinny butt. I lost some in the waist, very little in the upper body. Having that ridiculous top heavy look was one reason I thought I looked a bit thin (well, and I felt like carp)

I am back at goal, tend to be skinny butt and top heavy (not just breasts, but my shoulders and ribcage) but much more proportional.

top down for sure - which I found weird because when I was just-above-normal weight as a young adult, I always carried any excess weight I had high (I had a flat butt, no hips, and chicken legs). As someone above said, now my hips (and gut) are hanging on for dear life!

I can see my ribs above my boobs when not wearing a bra and the other day I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror while getting into the shower and I could see ribs in my BACK! Yet somehow I'm still wearing size 12 jeans.

I lost in the face first, which is also where I always gain first. I also noticed my shoes fitting more loosely pretty early on, and my legs slimming down.

I'm less than 5 lbs from goal, but I am struggling with getting my waist slimmer--I wanted it to be under 30", ideally 28", and it's still between 30" and 31". But my middle is also when I have the most loose skin, so that may just be how it is.:/

My chubby cheeks went down. Umm on my face.heh heh.

It started in my face first, and then I discovered the collar bone that I didn't even know I have. Right now its legs and some in the stomach, even though I still sometimes see the same person in the window, clothes sizes are dropping

I'm opposite of you. I lost bottom up. My boobs were the last to go. And like @@Miss Mac, I've still got a tummy roll that I probably won't lose without the help of surgery

My stomach and neck/collar bone area goes first.. Which I'm totally okay with but my butt and hips are dead last!

I'm loosing from the top down, my face is much thinner but not so much my bottom half. I look like a dripping candle

I feel better knowing this is possible. I was really starting to freak out! My face is so thin looking now and my body is just so...disappointing for the 69lbs I've lost so far. I really wish I could lose some belly or some hips....something!

First, it looks like somebody is up thinkin' when they ought to be sleepin'!

Secondly, I lost from the top down, then the feet up. Even though I am close to goal, I am the shape of a pencil with a donut around the middle.

no not really. I tend to stay up late because it's the only time I have to exercise and then after I do I need to relax to get sleepy so I play around on the Internet, shop online, or do laundry and chores. It's life with 7 kids. ????
