Calling all you apple shaped ladies



Recommended Posts

I have skinny legs, no hips and no rear. All my pants and undies fall because my belly is bigger than my hips/legs and once they slide past the waist, they have nothing to stop them. Were any of you ladies built that way before weight loss and did it change? I'd like to think that if I can get my stomach much smaller, that my hips/butt/legs will look feminine (ie bigger) by proportion. If any of you have any pics to share of before/after, I'd love to see them, or PM me, if too personal. Thanks!!

I used to be a pear shape, but in the last 7-8 years have been an apple. At first, when I started losing weight my body was exactly how you're describing yours. Now it's starting to change and I can't believe it! I do a lot of exercise, of all types and I'm quite excited to see what my final shape is gonna be like! Are you sleeved yet?

No, not yet. I've always been an apple. I might have to start buying those girdles with the built in butt and hips like the drag queens do. I'd wear them now but they are all too small, ha ha. Well, I hope I can get more hourglass and less beer belly man body.

      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.
