So, I have always been chubby but never really had a big belly. I have noticed that as the weight comes off the belly is not budging as quickly as other areas, giving me a "pooch" at the bottom of my belly. Has anyone else noticed their weight being distributed differently as they shed pounds?

My boobs and butt are gone and yes, I have a pooch for a belly now. You aren't alone.

my legs and butt are gone!!! I was standing doing dishes earlier and realized that no part of my legs or butt were touching my sweat pants--I tell everyone that I loose from the ground up

yep....very weird. i have always liked my legs because they are muscular, i have lost a lot off of my legs and now they are really skinny. my belly is still big, and so i look strange. really skinny on bottom and really big on top. on the possitive note though, i lost the extra w in my butt. you know which one, you normally have a W shape butt, however in us chubbys we have an extra little w in the middle. lol

i have lost that little w and am left with just one big W......i love that!

Mine is the exact opposite problem. I was pear shaped to begin with and now it seems as if the fat distribution has been taken over by gravity. I am losing it all up top and it is taking forever to get to my butt and legs. I am down to a 1x shirt but still fit into a 4x pants because of my butt and legs. The other problem is that everything jiggles. It's like the fat is not connected to my tissue anymore. Is that normal?

My arms and breasts and face have lost the most weight FOR SUREI have not lost any in the good old thuderthighs. I had my 3 month visit yesterday and I have lost almost 10 inches on my waist but only 4.5 on my hips. So I look cuter and curvier but I am still bottom heavy. I look way better with my clothes ON. :-) Working out with weights definately helps. I have been doing this for a month and my body is starting to look toned not like Jello, yay! Keep working out and eating right and thats all we can do!

Ducker... you are soooo not alone!

All my ife I have had the traditional pear shape... that is until I became morbidly obese... since losing weight, I am now a proper apple... and I have to say it is weird! The last of my weight is all around my middle - well, there is more but for my surgeon's goal, I think it is hanging around the ole tummy area - but at least I can now conceal it with nice clothes and clever underwear!!

YES! It's so weird! I lost in my legs this time around. I think it's because I'm older now (?). Not sure, but it's alllllll good :)

      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.
