Lumps and bumps revealed after fat loss

Is anybody else finding lumps or bumps on themselves after losing fat?

A few months ago I found a lump on my throat and ended up having blood work and an ultrasound done for it. It's just a lymph node and the doctor said I probably just noticed it now because my neck is thinner.

Tonight I found a lump in my abdomen just above my hip. Checked the other side to see if there was one there. Nope. I have no idea what it is. It wasnt painful but now it's bugging me, likely because I was poking at it. I'll wait a week to see if it goes away but if not, I guess it's back to the doctor.

    I was a little freaked out when I found a lump in my breast earlier this year. It was a cyst and they had been tracking it in my Mammograms and hadn't changed in size, I just lost weight so I could feel it.

    Yes, I do, and Yes, it's weird. One day, I was showering and thought, "What the heck is that hardness I just felt?!" It was my collarbone, lol.

    Just seeing bones is weird. There is this whole body with shapes I never saw when they buried under fat. It didn't seem like my body at all and everything seemed out of place. While I knew that healthy bodies have bone shapes visible, I was just so used to seeing blobs that it seemed unnatural on MY body.

    It takes some getting used to. And just as I begin to get used to it, I've lost more and there is more newness to discover.

    It's weird, but it's good. And you get used to it after a while. It won't seem so different, later. It will all seem like it's normal and right. :)

    It could be fat deposits. I have them, it scared the hell out of me. I didn't go to the doctor but they've been there forever so I'm not totally worried. Called lipoma if you want to google it.

    I found a large cyst on my knee the other day. I was like "what the heck???" Will have doc check it on my next visit.

    Me! I found a huge growth on my tailbone that turned out to be my tailbone. The tumor on my shoulder was my arm bone (the joint where it connects to the clavicle). Lots of newly discovered skeletal things going on here. 75 pounds will unveil a number of things.

    When I lost 40 lbs I found a lump in my midsection. I showed the doc, and he ran a few tests. He then come up to me and says, "I have confirmed my suspicions. What you have is a penis."

    Good job your a fella. Now stop playing with your new toy.

    Lay down, in the morning before I have been to the toilet, I can feel part if my intestines. ( at least that's what I think it is because it goes away after)

    Cheers, h.
