My nose got bigger. And I seem to be taller in the kitchen and shorter in the car??

In high school I used to think my nose was big. Then forever it looked just right for my face. Now my face is shrinking and my big nose is back!

I have never been able to reach stuff on or above a certain shelf, now (with my big stomach shrinking) I can reach it! But I had to move the seat up in the car, who moved the peddles? Oh wait, my butt is smaller!

Anyone else?

lol...I can't wait to have your problems!!!!

I thought I grew! Last time I went to weight watchers about five years ago, I had a fight with the woman there who kept measuring me at 176cm. I'm 179 cm and always have been. I made her measure me about five times because of course being shorter meant I was more overweight, lol.

When I got measured by my lap band clinic last year, as an update to my records, I was 179cm. I remarked that I must have uncompressed my spine or something. The nurse cracked up - she said "darling, obese people meausure shorter than they are becuase their bums are so big they cant stand straight against the wall". Obviously you lean back slightly to rest your shoulders on the wall to be measured and that shortens you.

I think i must of had a half inch fat pad on the soles of my feet or something that i lost cuz i seem to have shrunk! And my internal thermostat is now set at ARTIC ZONE because im always freezing. Saves a bundle on paper towels from not having to lug them around everywhere to wipe a sweaty brow from the mere exertion of moving my 359 lbs around. Oh and my legs now get tan evenly being as the upper portion of my thighs now see the sun because my large belly is not shading them.

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who has experienced the untanned top of the legs. I am still waiting to be banded, and I can't wait to have fully tanned legs, too.:blushing:

I wondered why the steering wheel was so much farther away from me.

No, my stomach was gone.

I have shrunk about .5 inches over the last 20 years. It isn't because my butt changed, I don't have one.

Maybe I should have butt inplants!!!! LOL

The steering wheel thing is hilarious. Before losing weight a friend of mine, who is a couple of inches taller then me, drove my car and asked how in the hell did I reach the peddles with my seat on the farthest back position. I have had to move my seat up twice these past couple of months due to weight loss in the buttock area. Just the other day I accused my husband of moving the seat back. He didn't...feels good to know that my bum is getting smaller and taking up less room on the seat:biggrin:.

Too funny!! Jachut, I never thought about the butt/wall effect, but it makes perfect sense!

Thanks for sharing everyone! Glad I'm not the only one shrinking and growing.

YES!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad you posted this thread. My nose seems bigger, too. So much so that in less than a week I'm having rhinoplasty.

Don't know about tall and short but my feet shrank half a size. My butt was never big so my seat in the car is still in the same position....but I don't need as much seat belt!

:lol:I have a short pant inseam. With dropping the weight either my legs are getting shorter or the pants are growing longer legs.

My nose looks bigger to me as well. I am always taking pictures of myself with my camera phone since my face/neck/shoulders are all thinner. Then one day I realized "my nose is bigger".Not terribly big but bigger. I also now raise my seat up in my car b/c started to feel like I was sitting in a bucket. My cushion in my butt is gone too. AND I now can wear a size 8.5 shoe whereas before my surgery, I was wearing a 10 b/c my feet were so fat.

My face is looking much longer and I have dropped a size and a half in shoes! I am losing crazy sizes in clothes and am having trouble keeping up. I literally had a four foot mountain of clothes on the floor the other day after cleaning out my closet. I am also having to keep close track of my wedding rings so they don't fall off. I plan to have those altered later when I am done losing.

Right there with you... it seems my nose got bigger, my boobs got smaller, i got taller, but my feet got smaller.. go figure..even my fingers lost weight..but i can live with how i look now anyday to how i looked like before! LOL !

I lost a whole size and went from wide width to regular in my shoes. My boobs left and I'm always cold now but I'm not complaining!

I am always cold too- I thought It was my thyroid problems or lack there of but I guess it could be the weight loss too...:thumbup:

I too have noticed my belly isnt rubbing the steering wheel as much anymore too. YIPPEE!

Maybe I should have butt inplants!!!! LOL

I can absolutely help you with this! I have enough butt for at least 5 people. :cursing:
