Anyone "loose weight" in the eye area?



Recommended Posts

So the top of my eyes below my brows are pretty puffy and have always been, and I've attributed it to my weight. I love doing makeup but hate it because of my eyes, did any of you ladies notice any "weight loss" in the eye area, or is this something I'm just doomed with? Lol

People lose a lot of weight in their faces so I would think you would lose there. I know people who had to get new glasses because their nose got skinnier, people go down in shoe size, people lose all over!

I have noticed i have lost weight in my hands. they arent as puffy. I truly believe when you lose, you lose it everywhere. I have also known others whose faces completely change and they are nearly unrecognizable. It is definitely a possibility!

I need upper and lower eyelid surgery... upper because there is too much fat and lower because there isn't enough/

Go figure :blink:

I knew of a man who decided to lose weight because his facial fat was folding over his face and eyes. So, I'm pretty sure you will lose weight there, as well.

I did. Had to get new glasses. One day at work and I bent over to raise a toilet seat and my glasses fell off my face and into the toilet. I was going to put them on my face again so it was time for new glasses.

Sometimes a "puffier" face is also associated with hypothyroidism (low thyroid). I know from my own experience that once I was diagnosed and on medicine my face de-puffed a lot. Just a thought.

But I still hope to lose some weight in the face area!

@@janedoe92 Ha Ha Ha!! I love this post because I never thought to see someone lose weight around their eyes. But, it is so possible! I've went down half a shoe size and I haven't even had my surgery yet. I can't wait to say good bye to my big rear and hips!

I learn something new every day. This is great!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
