No butt at all but big belly and sliding pants!



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if any one else has this problem. I have always had a flat butt but it is way worse now and all my pants slide down in the back. Regular button fly pants and shorts are the worst because I can't get them to stop. My belly is extremely big so the pants are very loose in the back, even at the waist but they fit or are tight in the front. I know I could do a belt but that woudln't be comfortable with my big belly right now. Has anyone ever used anything to pinch the material in back up? I am not even sure if I can find a belt to fit me, it has been so long since anyone has. I am afraid that the best would just cinch the front more and dig into my skin.

I am proportioned really weird - skinny legs, smaller arms but big boobs and big belly but my back and butt are losing the weight faster than the front. It feels like I could wear one size in the front and one in the back!

You are not alone! I too have inherited a weird body shape from my mother and I don't like it!

I have a big gut medium boobs, thin legs, and a FLAT BUTT! I wish I had the money for

butt implants.haha. I would definately get them! I hope as my waist actually does get small,

it will be smaller than my hips.and make my butt somewhat more attractive. (ugh) haha

Well, good luck to BOTH of us with the pancake rears!

I'm with you, my underpants slide off too because I have no butt, thighs or hips to 'catch' them. Is there any hope!!! Has anyone who was shaped like this lost and gotten a more proportioned body??

Please don't tell me that's what happens. I already have the "all gut and no butt" syndrome. I can't lose much more in my rear!

I am similarly proportioned :-) I usually buy low rise jeans that are tight through hip and thigh. They are usually cut more generously at the waist and tighter everywhere else. I also wear a lot of skirts :-)

The weight loss has been interesting because I didn't know my butt could get any smaller. My stomach is shrinking too, but not as quickly as the legs / face / back. I also seem to be maintaining my boobs, which is interesting.

Don't worry, we are all a work-in-progress.

Have you thought about suspenders in the interum while you are losing the weight and then can move to a belt when your belly has gotten smaller?

If you do not want them to be seen put them on your pants and put your shirt over top. Your pants will stay up and you will not be uncomfortable.

Just a thought.

That's a good idea. My husband said suspenders recently but I couldn't picture wearing them all the time over clothes so underclothes may work out! Thanks.

i didn't think it was possible either but any hint of fat is sliding off so quickly there. I wish my stomach and arms would listen up a bit more. I guess I will try to tackle that starting next week when I start exercising hard-core again. My trainer did this "fire hydrant" where you go on all fours and then lift your leg like you are a dog peeing on a fire hydrant. It is really good for the abs and the butt. I am sure they show it on Spark People. I am going to work it like crazy so maybe I can get my stomach smaller but my butt muscles built up to get more of a shape.

Well, it might take a while, but try some gluteal exercises, like stairmaster, lunges, etc. They will build up your booty in a good way!!!tongue.gif

Hi, Same thing here! I didn't even expect to lose much in my butt and thighs because I had been exercising before surgery and had built up those muscles so it was a shock when I developed droopy drawers. The good news is nine months out it all has evened out. I bought and had put in other pants drawstrings like you have with sweats so I could tighten them up without being uncomfortable.

One step at a time... The belly of course will be the last to go. Told my husband, that I might do better by putting my pants on backwards, since the belly is bigger than the butt ; )

You might try pants with elastic in the back or if you sew you could try sewing some elastic inside the back waistband of the pants you already have.

Not one single solution to the original query: what does a man do to get a pair of jeans to fit well if he has a larger than usual belly and a flat butt.

      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.
