--pic removed... sorry, folks ---

I don't know if you can see it in the picture, but I actually have collar bones now. I keep running my hands on them. They feel so weird, it's been so long since I've had them! Also, every time I see them in a mirror I have a moment of "WTF is THAT??" then I realize it's just my clavicle and it's actually totally normal to be able to see them. Yes, I actually have a skeleton under all of this.

They poke out bit more than I thought they would at this weight. (I'm 5'6 and about 225 pounds right now) but I guess it all depends on weight distribution. I'm definitely still quite fat, but dammit I have collar bones. ;)

OK, thanks for listening. Literally no where else in the world that I could share something like this!!

Share your collar bone (and other bone) discoveries! What do you think will pop next?

Nutshell:

Lost 140 lbs with VSG. (Hooray!!)

got pregnant (yeaaaa!)

got cancer (boooo!)

regained 40 lbs. (grrrr!)

In summary: Alive & Grateful.

Ribs - whoa! That is hard to imagine. I'm not sure if I'll ever see my ribs, even at goal weight. But... who knows. When did your ribs start popping out? Did they catch you by suprise one day?

I started noticing pain under my breast and felt something hard. After a couple of minutes (I'm a fast one lol) I realized it was my rib and my underwire was pressing on it causing pain. I have a large chest (HH cup) so I don't see my ribs unless I lift the girls out of the way - but when I lay in bed I'm amazed how my stomach dips in so much there - then poofs back out for the gut - lots of extra skin and plenty of remaining fat I'm working off. I noticed them about 4 months ago - about 110 + lbs down, but while in a stall. It really helped me realize while I wasn't losing at the moment, my weight was redistrobuting!

This happen to me. I thought i was having a heart attack or something. Took me longer than a few minutes to figure out what was REALLY going on. Hahaha.. Sometimes I just have to laugh at myself.

Woot! Yeah, I'm amazed at my neck/shoulders too. Even still. My tailbone is the weirdest though. I hear it will kind of collapse back in a little, but dude.... I have a tail.

A tailbone? That's insane. I can see how that would be very painful if it were sticking out. Do you stick a maxi-pad on it for some extra padding?

Who would have thought that weight loss would be such an anatomy lesson?

ROFLMAO... OMG, I'm going to pee my pants...

It hurts sometimes if I sit down too long on it and because I have SO much lose skin and flab, I can actually GRAB the thing. So it's a tail AND a handle.

*laughing*

I totally wish I was kidding.
