Some things are just out of your control like where you lose and sagging skin. My advice is to enjoy the journey and try not to worry about things too much. You are off to a great start!

Everyone has a predetermined shape. If you are pear shaped now you will be pearshaped when you lose but you will be a smaller pear. There is nothing you can do about it, there is no diet that will enable you to choose where you loose!

Yep, I have always had a big butt and thighs. Always loose boobs first, but right now liking the change my butt has made so far.

Like Elcee said, we are what we are, but being smaller all over is still better then being obese.

Upper body exercises will strengthen your pects which will support your chest

Spent sometime at a y and they have free trainers that will tell you what to do.

Or a local club or gym may have trainers you can pay to give you advise.

I had a big ol butt too. My measurements were 46 / 42 / 77. I was a big ol pear. Since most people lose weight from the top down I still had a big ol butt even after I lost the first 100 lbs. fast forward to today and I have no butt to speak of and I am still unevenly proportioned. My measurements are 34 / 28 / 37. I am still a pear but you can't have dinner on my butt shelf any more... It's gone!!!!

Too funny! I lost evenly across my body.... BUT... I had had previous Lipo on my butt. My hubby says it is gone now and he cannot recognize me from behind! Small pears are healthier than big pears! Think about which you really want to be!

      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.
