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!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
