Default What did you loose first after surgery?

After I started rapidly loosing weight the first thing to go was my butt!

I guess I realized in Hindsight that this post could be percieved as too personal lol but lets just look at it as what I first lost!

LOL I used to have a big shelf ass that would hold up my jeans and I could sit on the back porch made of concrete and have my own cushion. Now I have no butt left lol and what is there gets numb if I sit on the back stoop too long. Not a bad thing but always makes me laugh!

I had to switch to overalls for the duration of my weight loss cause much to my embarassment and humor more than one of my friends has been involved in an involuntary mooning incident or some accidental stair climbing plumbers butt when someone was behind me even WITH a belt. HOOORAY for Overalls....not exactly a fashion statement but they are moon proof!

I think I lost my freakin mind!! it was tough for a while emotionally for me. But I think I lost my ass first too, I can't find it anywhere now and nothing holds my jeans up.

Yeah the emotional part was rough for me too. Part of my obesity issue was a massive hormone imbalance in my body.... I actually had mass amts. of Estrogen in my body so dealing with that was horrid.

That and my hospital was 1.5hrs from my home city so I spent alot of my recovery time alone.... Grown Man spending 1 month in the hospital crying myself to sleep

My 86 year old grandmother came to see me on my 33rd bday in the hospital, prolly the best day I ever had in there.

OVERALLS are the ultimate answer! anyone loosing weight rapidly NEEDS them!

My butt was the first to go. I swear all the weight from there is now hanging in the loose skin of my thighs and belly. how nice.

well i never had a butt to begin with so i didnt lose that. I did lose though my boobs! they are gone! I have looked all around and cant seem to find them! the best part was my 15 year old cousin was over this past weekend and asked what size i was now...i told her and she goes " oh well i have some small bras that might fit you" Yeah i wanted to smack her!
Other than that i may have lost some of my sense of humor...i mean come on or maybe its just towards one person at work...for some reason he always relates peoples body types to fruits and veggies...well now that i am losing weight i dont find his jokes as funny. I guess being told you went from a pumpkin type to a butternut sqaush will do that to you...yeah he thinks he is hilarious.

I lost a lot of weight around my waist... it seems like I went from size 54 pants to 42's like overnight. since then it's been a bit slower. I think I started wearing 38's in august/september and I'm probably another month or two away from 34's.
