I have shrinkles! LOL...

I was sitting staring at my stomach, as I have found myself doing often since surgery, and noticed that I now have lines running across, my tummy, almost wrinkling up... I have had them vertical for some time (stretch marks) but this was new, and when I stand up they stretch down and smooth out. So I asked Dh to come look and tell me what he thought - verify that they were new and that it was a sign of shrinkage and sure enough, he says "yes, honey, I do believe you have shrinkles!" I'm howling with laughter and giddyness in my brain right now! I have shrinkles! who'd have ever thought I'd get so excited over what is soon to be considered not shrinkles, but excess FLABBY skin!!! But oh boy am I excited! Woohoo!

that is great tink , what I have noticed the most is my face and my ankles. I have normal looking ankles now. can you believe we are finally shrinking .

I have a hard time believing it because my pants still fit pretty normal (I think) I did feel like my capris may have had a little more leg room, but then - I'd been wearing them off and on for a couple days and you know how that goes... My husband says he can see it in my face, and we were falling asleep the other night, his hand on my hip and he says.. "OH! there's bone there!" LOL... I love him! He's my gauge. Prior to surgery I pretty much refused to look in a mirror. I've ventured there a few times since, but really don't know my face that well anymore! Sad... but it's okay, cause all that's changing!! Thanks.. Tin k

My DH has also noticed some change in me, I guess I've noticed a little.....but I can't wait for some of those "shrinkles". I guess now every morning I'll start looking for them to show up....lol Hugs, Sherry

Love the word shrinkles!! heehee. I have noticed them on my boobs!! ugghhh, I think that is only going to get uglier as time goes on, but I'll take it!!

LOLOLOL Love the word shrinkles.. soooooooo much better than 'drapes' which is what I've been thinking my stomach is starting to look like I've also noticed I have a lot more wrinkles on my face that I had before... not as much fat filling them in I suppose. I have been wondering if I should start using a hair clip on the back of my neck to pull the skin back so I don't eventually trip over it! Hubby says.. don't worry about any of that. We'll deal with that later if you want to.

Awwwww... sweet hubby. That's what mine says too! He's all for whatever I want. In fact, I found out last night that he's already done some of the research. I think he's just as excited as I am!! lol... Isn't it a fun word to say? Drapes - now that is a very descriptive word... fits though in some instances!! I just haven't lost enough to have any!! Lemme know if that hair clip thing works, I might have to join you in a few more weeks! Love and hugs, Tin k

That made my day! Thats what its called! LOL . I got it too!...........Kitty
