Well now I SEE that I have lost weight. It took me a while to actually aknowledge this while standing infront of the mirror. I do have a stupid question though. Everything is getting smaller EXCEPT my hands, specifically my fingers lol! I can see the beginnings of my wrist bones in my wrists and of course my arms are smaller, BUT my fingers are still fat lol. What's the deal???

(I know this should be the LEAST of my worries. but leave it to me to ask the unthinkable LOL!)

PS> my foot size is much smaller. one whole size and no longer wide width anyone else lose a shoe size?

Wow-I never thought about these things. I guess your fingers and feet could get smaller.......

Hi Kenyar -

I was just reading your reply to a different thread and was thinking how wonderful you're looking!


You're not the only one who thinks of these things. My terribly analytical mind has spent time on these topics as well.


My ring size has definitely changed. I lost my thumb ring somewhere a couple of weeks ago because it fell off. I'm not sure if I want to replace it yet since I would like to lose more weight.

My shoe size is the same so far but I don't have to buy wide width anymore which is very nice.

What I have found really interesting is that my local friends who are long time post-ops have told me that their bra sizes may have gone down but their cup size never changed. I am soooo hoping that doesn't happen to me! I don't even think they make smaller bras with cups that big!

Hugs,
Chrissy

Hi. I'm still waiting for the WLS but I have lost and regained a lot of weight twice. Yes, my fingers did get somewhat smaller - I had to resize my rings one size (8.25 to 7) and my shoes about a half size, but I don't have very fat feet - now the caboose is something else!

I've gone from 42C down to 34C (and back up, and back down and up again) and yes, the cup size stays proportional. Your boobs will be smaller, if they are down to your knees to start with, they'll be around your belly button later *throwing them over her shoulders*.

I guess I wont notice my hands right away because I dont wear rings?? I dont know they still look kinda plump to me.

As for the bra situation, I've alreay lost a cup size. I went from a 42 DD to 36/38 D or full C (depending on the style of bra) I AM HOPING I DONT LOSE ANYMORE IN THAT AREA...lol!

I did the same thing. I went from a size 10W to 9. It was actually one of the first things I noticed myself. And I know how you feel about the hands. But I finally seem to be losing in the fingures now, maybe it is one of the last things to go for some of us.

My feet have really shrunk! I was taking an 11W but now can do a regular 11 or 10W. My wedding ring is getting lose now as well but not that much yet. I am really getting nervous because my clothes are getting so big that soon I am going to need a new wardrobe. It is a good feeling but financially it is burdensome. I am only 4 weeks post op.

Try a stress ball or something like that to give your hands a work out.

I am glad to hear that you haven't lost too much in the cup size. The one thing I have always had is nice boobs....I would like to keep it that way.

Kenya the thing I have always noticed on anyone losing weight is there is always a last place someone loses. Your fingers may be it. In everyone I have run accross they always lose ring sizes so im sure you will be next.

On the last places to lose weight........we had this nurse that worked with me once. She decided she was goning to lose 35 lbs. The last place she lost wieght was her calfs. It looked odd for a few weeks then suddenly they were gone! She stated to me that her calfs were the first place she always gained weight and the last place she had always lost it. Perhaps your fingers are the same way? Good luck
