Any of you have 2 sets of hips?



Recommended Posts

Ever since I was 14 my hips have looked weird. They look like I have a double set of hips if that makes sense. I could have Lipo on them to fix them but would I get lasting results or would fat just build up in those areas again?

Do you mean instead of a smooth hip curve, you have two? If so, then yes I have that too - one lot of fat that goes from my waist down to where my underpants leg goes, and then another bump of fat that goes out from there down my leg... I've been like that since i hit puberty.

What you are describing (cakegirl) sounds like what are commonly called saddle bags.They are very common.

I have a tendency towards them too, not really bad ones, but I've always had that double bump and still do slightly even though I"m extremely thin now.

I guess it's just genetic where your fat deposits want to hang out... Although I don't know where I got my genes from because my mum is petite with smooth curved hips, and my grandma was a skinny straight-up-and-down lady!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
