 At a week and a half post-op it's exciting to begin to notice that the pounds lost aren't just noticeable on the scale but in the mirror as well.  I'm seeing my neck shrinking (incredibly excited about that).  My arms are also looking a bit smaller and my tummy is getting flatter.  I've lost the equivalent of my 19 month old son already!  Where did you first notice the excess weight melting away?

Same here, the face. I''m really excited about that because I've always had a big face.

My rear end is disappearing! All my clothes are gaping in the rear.  

Also, my watch slid off the other day, so my arms/wrists are definitely smaller.

i starting shrinking from the top to the bottom.  and my no boobs before are really no boobs now :( 

but i can tell a huge difference.  I went into surgery at a size 20/22 and now can fit into a 16. 

one thing i hate is how floppy my whole body is right now.  i need to workout but i am dealing with extreme light headedness where i want to pass out every time i stand up. 

i have gone to the doctor and my heart is good which means it's from the rapid weight loss and my body is just freaking a little.  so my blood pressure is low (never had an issue with that before) and now have some orthostatic issues that my doc said "would drop anyone"  awesome.

 I've only lost 16 pounds but I can notice a difference in my legs and face for sure. I'm only post op day 4 so my tummy is still really swollen:(
