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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
