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?

Wow - I had 5 at home years ago and I can only imagine what have a couple of more would've been like

I miss those days

I replied earlier and I wanted to add that although I have lost proportionately it is still sad to look down and see the deflated muffin top as they call it now.

Spandex is your friend

I am down 50lbs. My kids say they can see it in my face. My clothes are looser, down about 1 pants size. Yesterday, I noticed that a couple of my favorite jackets fit me differently. The arms are too long!!! It has to be that I have lost in my upper arms and shoulder area.

Proportionately, but I'd say face and feet first. Then stomach, hips and legs. Now my butt is gone but only lost a few inches from my waist up.

Me too. I've been working out with weights. Its helping a bit. If my Co workers say my FACE is smaller one more time. I'll scream

I lost weight on my legs and feet first. Then my head. My hat was too big. I had RNY on July 29th, lost 80 pounds so far and it's now just starting to come off my stomach. I still haven't lost ONE bra size. The nurse said that my remaining 30 pounds has to come from somewhere, so hopefully, I will loose a bra size or two.

They could be saying worse things

I've lost 101 lbs now, and much of it is from my face, shoulders, back, upper torso area. I never had a butt (tragic white girl syndrome), but everything around my waist has gotten smaller at a MUCH slower weight. I'm just an apple shape, so I'm learning to deal with it.

My face and neck are generally the first to start their incredible shrinking with my waist line in a close second, the thighs and hips, then finally the butt. Of course, the feet and hands go with the face and neck. I am going to go ahead and say it is because these are the most outer extremities.

I'm with the minority, I'm losing from the bottom up. I wear a 10 or medium in pants but I could easily wear a size 12 or large on top. Hoping it will eventually even out.

For me was first the face, neck and arms and tights. Tummy was the last

I have pretty much been loosing weight evenly throughout my body, however my waist and tummy were where I noticed the weight loss the fastest. my midsection was the last place I gained, so I guess it was to first to shrink.

I started noticing the weight loss in my lower belly, rear end and hips, first. Then I noticed it in my legs, then my face but overall, I have lost evenly. I carried my weight evenly and was never "top" or "bottom" heavy. I don't know if that has anything to do with where one would lose the weight first. *shrug*

I started to noticing the weight loss of my legs. Then that was face and neck.

Guys I want to advive you the meal replacement shakes for improving your body shape.http://weightlosstop.com

I use it for three month and results are brilliant.

I lost weight in my face first, the first compliment/question came at about 8 -10 weeks after WLS, 19 lbs down. I was also loosing everwhere else too, my jackets started getting too big, along with my jeans. 5 big garbage bags of clothes went bye bye about 4 months out ( fun !!! ) Shoes and rings got smaller too. Clothes shopping is ALOT of fun now !!

I eventually slimmed down to a very nice figure, but for some reason this year ive lost my rear end !! Idk, age ? Muscle tone ? Oh well, I 'll take a slim, strong healthy body over anything else any day of the week ! Good luck !!!

My butt seemed to be the first thing to go, which my husband just told me he was sad about, lol. My face and neck are back to looking slim, no change in bra size which I'm hoping will happen at some point. These girls are heavy, DDD. My hips have really gone down but my belly is hanging on for dear life. I'm very happy with how it's going. Just going to have to start working out to firm up and build a butt, lol. It's so flat :-(
