Where is the first place you lost weight?



Recommended Posts

The very first place I historically lose weight is on husbands. After that it is my face, followed by a general all over loss. With the band, we shall see. Of couser, with the band, gain, the first place I lost weight was on my husband... :)

I was gonna say when I delivered my first child. I lost about 8lbs right off the bat. LOL!!! Then the husband was the next place. LOL!

I noticed it in my ankles. I looked down one day and had skinny ankles. Then my face, then hands, then all over.

I lost it all in my butt, it is now flatter than ever, then my arms and I still haven't noticed too much off my belly, which is where I have lots and lots of fat. Maybe I'll have to get butt implants in addition to a tt. LOL Look out J Lo here I come!!!

I lost Fluid around my ankles and calves right away. My legs and ankles have NEVER swollen like they did before my surgery since - and it's been 22 months! Thank goodness! After that, I've lost most ALL my weight right off my hips, waist and thighs. I still have to wear larger sizes in pants due to not having lost much around my abdomen. I bought a pair of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans the other day, which fit perfectly, btw, but I had to get an 18, which was kind of disappointing:(, but I understand they run small too. Interestingly, a lady told me the legs fit small and my legs fit perfectly! In a way, that was a NSV for me. I have ALWAYS had huge thighs and never been able to wear Levis or some smaller legged jeans, so that was cool! But, I can't believe how much more I've lost from my legs and behind than the rest. It's very strange.

I lost it in my face first. Also in my neck, all my necksaces hang down a lot lower now. I have to un button my shirts lower for anyone to see! Wonder how far down I should go? hehehe

I lost in my face first, but that is usually the case for women. We lose it first where we need to lose the least, the places we lose last are the places we need to lose first..for me it started at my face and has worked it's way down..

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
