NEW favorite body part



Recommended Posts

I put this in the "thirties" room, but I'm curious what others who had surgery the same time as me say.

Okay, I always used to say my favorite body part was my eyes or hair. But, now that I'm losing weight, I want to focus on parts that weren't worth focusing on before. Now, my favorite body part is my legs. My least favorite (still) is my belly.

So, DO NOT SAY EYES, HAIR, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN'T BE IMPROVED FROM WEIGHT!!!

Be proud! What's your new favorite body part!!!???!?!??

Sorta close in timeframe of banding. My new Favorite body parts are my shoulders / abs / arms. My upper body responded well to working out & diet - the pear shape bottom of mine is in catch up mode.:rolleyes2:

I think I have great shoulders, back and upper arms and a nice long neck. I'm quite happy to bare a lot of my upper body. I'm thin through the waist too, so am more than happy to wear stretchy fitted things, or a bikini.

I like my hands too, they're elegant, long fingered and slender.

I love this thread! It's so refreshing to 'hear' the things people like/love about themselves rather than the usual complaints we all have about our bodies.

I've only been banded a few weeks, so I really don't have anything to add to this.

I just wanted to tell you all how proud of you I am!

Right now I would have to say my legs. 79 lbs ago I never showed my legs. I always wore pants or long skirts. I am really enjoying wearing capris and shorter skirts now.

I love my waist!!! Before starting to exercise, my waistline just showed out of nowhere. It makes me feel I have an hourglass figure.

Favourite new part of my body? Has to be the actual Band!! It's what made me realise how many other parts of my body I love now.

My arms you can actually see the veins now and my new found neck. I went from a size 19 neck to a 15 1/2 with probably another inch to go.

I just can't get over the bones I now feel under my knee. All of a sudden they showed up. I'm constantly rubbing them.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
