Hi all. Odd post I know but I had to ask if other people were experiencing this. As I've lost weight everything feels so exposed now. I wear kinda tight jeans (not where I have to suck in to zip or anything) and even when I'm sitting in the car or walking it's like they are rubbing on my good stuff. I feel like I constantly have an invisible camel toe now. At first I thought it was just a specific pants that had low rise but no, its all of them. I haven't been this small since Middle school so I suppose this might be what everyone experiences who is of normal weight? I guess my thighs and fat had kept things quit cushioned before. I do wear panties but maybe i need like some padded ones or something <shrug>. Maybe TMI but j ust standing or sitting everything is hidden if you know what I mean I don't have extra good stuff so that it might be easy to rub against jeans etc.

Some of it is the way clothes are cut, I know my "boys" are more snug now because my underwear and pants now fit and are not just loose baggy blobs all stretched out and cut too large to allow the fat to squish around. Let's face it, fat people in tight clothes usually look disgusting (I certainly did). Slim (or getting slim) people in a nice right fitting set of clothes look sharp and neat. I've had a LOT of compliments on the way my clothes fit me now, especially from ladies :D .

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I have several pairs of jeans that I don't want to wear because of the "snug" fit. My husband is like "suffer for beauty - you look awesome in those". :P How can I say no to that?!?!?!?

I had the same issue. Although I feel so dam good, I don't mind it so much. Nice to know I'm not the only one : )

This thread should come with a warning! I busted out giggling and doused my moniter in coffee. OMG I can't wait to have these problems! Rubbing on the good stuff, eh? NICE! LOL

Not yet, but then again even when I was thinner, I always had a good amount of fat padding in the "girl department".

Too funny. I sooo don't get it though. I'm hear thinking if the jeans are rubbing on the good stuff, I may walk faster. :D

With you on that one Heather!!

This is hysterical. But in all seriousness, I do have this problem as well and sometimes it can be funny like, "woah hello there!" But sometimes it can actually be painful, not to mention that it looks just awful. Nobody in the world wants the dreaded Toe so unless I am willing to wear really thick and stiff girdle panties =( I have to wear tunic length shirts with pants, just like I was still fat!!

Also BTW, anybody have the problem of bruised hipbones from the waistband of lowrise pants? I'm still fat (179) and this is already a problem.

I think in the long run you will lose enough weight the you won't have the "toe". I know how embarrassing it can be. Just hang in there and be patient.

I would think rubbing on the good stuff is a good thing...

Pant cuts are different. You also have less fat in your upper pelvic area = smaller upper pelvic area = less coverage.

Look at a porn with skinny women. Their "good stuff" is clearly visible when they just stand there.

Haha, hi! Yeah I went on vacation then moved and started a new job. It's been a bit of a struggle with food and carbs, see my "one year anniversary" post in general sleeve discussion. Though I did just break a 2 month stall, went from 184 to 179 in 4 days because I reigned in my carbs and got back to the gym but Im thinking I need to be back here on VST more because I clearly need my support network.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
