Did you lose your curves??



Recommended Posts

I'm glad that you ladies addressed this! My BF is sooo worried I won't have my hips/thighs/butt anymore, after surgery, LOL I just want it all to decrease a whole lot! I'm so looking forward to being healthy that I really don't care about my curves (as much as my BF does). I'll let him know that I should be just fine :D

o wow that sounds pretty good too thank you!! thank you ladies all for your responses!! :)..how much weight did u lose ur first two weeks lilmissdiva?

Towrd the end of my liquids, I think within a day or so I decided to buy me some egg drop chinese Soup. I pureed it as much as I could and it seemed to work out okay. Try that first, because really its still a liquid - just not too thick. I have to tell you, that was the best tasting Soup ever!!!

This topic was right on point and I.am grateful for the response thanks Diva....I have nothing up top even with the weight. If it was not for my weight I would be in a training bra lol. But I've always had even in my thinner days my badonka-dunk and I have grown to appreciate it.....However @ current weight its a Mack truck and not all so hot, but I'm glad to know that I will keep my curves. I will be sleeved in a few weeks :)

No worries! If you are naturally curvy you will keep them. :) Wishing you the best on your surgery!!!

i'm curvy as all get out at 4 weeks out but what is with the saggy inner thighs!!!!!! BARF!!! Any ideas on how to tone that particular area. I'm walking my butt off literally but that saggy drooping inner thigh is beyond gross. Does anyone think compression garments help....Like I hate Spanx but if it will stuff stay where it belongs then i'm game to try it. I'm 4'11 and down to 241 form 268.

I HAD THE SAME QUESTION.

Black women are built and framed different than other women. And I don't want to lose my assets through out this weight lost journey. On you tube and basic websites there are not alot of pixs to see.

Chellewill you should consult a trainer for some tips regarding your thighs. I have always had more than my share of thighs and behind, squats and the elliptical help keep them toned.

Well ladies, a year later, I'm happy to say that my curves are still here! I went from a 42G bra to a 34DD (sooooo hard to find bras in that size). I lost some of my butt, but not enough to be worried about. Basically, my body is the same shape, just a smaller, more toned size.

Thank you all for your advice and comments.

I went from a 40G bra to a 34 DD. You are right about finding that size. Almost as hard as it is to find a 40G.

The worst part of that, for me, is the deflated tata look. They are looking like a balloon that was blown up and deflated several times. Not cute. :(

Any suggestions?

      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.
