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!!!

My pre op diet I lost 9 lbs, then around another 16 in the first whole month. I think 11 was the first 2 weeks. All the best!! :)

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?

      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.
