I now have some (little bit) shape to my butt. It has been really flat for years, and now it is finding a curve. My face is slimmer and I look younger.

I still have a way to go, but I've noticed the most change in my face, fingers, breasts and feet. I'm noticing my legs are toning up a little and still trying to work on the arm flab. I'm definitely happy with what results I'm seeing this far, and can't wait to see what is yet to come!

I know longer have swelling in my calves and ankles. I can feel my collarbone, and people can see it. The first thing one of my friends said to me was, "Look at your face." I'm getting a waist.

And I still have a ways to go, too!!

I have a waist and my face is much thinner. Physical activity is now something I crave instead of dreading.

My husband was telling me last night he really noticed it in my face, neck, collarbone area and legs. I can tell it in my butt also, but my waist doesn't seem to be going anywhere!

Good and bad, lol.

On the bad side, I can more clearly see the effects of age and multiple pregnancies - empty breasts and slightly loose stomach.

On the good side, I am muscular, I have discovered that I have a really lovely shapely upper body - my arms, shoulders, back, all nicely muscled but very feminine and you could slice an apple on my collarbones. My lower half, not so great, lol. But not bad. I can feel how firm and strong my body is, in a way I never could even at 14 or 15 years. Most of the changes have come from exercise - losing the fat has just meant I can feel and see them.

My husband grabbed my butt the other night, then got a shocked look on his face. Apparently, my butt is getting smaller! :wink2:

I can see a bony structure at the bottom of my face. It is my chin. But the skin on my neck is wrinkley because of the weight I loss in in that area.

I definitely have a more feminine shape, with a more defined waist (instead of being a big lump!). My profile is also much slimmer. I measure frequently, and pretty much everything is reducing at about the same rate. But my poor chest--these babies are getting SO flat and flabby. I can fold them, wrinkle them, and tuck them to the side under my arms. They will definitely need work. My stomach will probably have a bit of loose skin, but I don't think it will be drastic; I've noticed it shrinking and tightening lately, which is awesome--no tummy tuck!

      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'. ???

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
