SleeveandRNYchica 1,155 Posted August 9, 2012 Just wondering what is your current body type? For those sleeved did your body type change (pear to apple, apple to hourglass)? How tall are you and what is your goal weight? Did you set it or did your doctor recommend it? I am a pear - pre-surgery I am 5'5, my initial goal weight was 160lbs. I recently changed it to 150lbs. I think seeing I need to lose more than 100lbs scared me. However, after I did my bone density exam I realized I am not big boned. I hope that after surgery, I still am a pear or an hourglass.

sil222 59 Posted August 9, 2012 I'm pear, was pear to begin with too , I'm just a smaller pear :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunnyCox 245 Posted August 9, 2012 I had an hourglass figure when I was 120lbs during high school and college, and I still had an hourglass figure at my pre-op weight of 279lbs. I don't think it will change much as I continue to lose weight. I'll just expect my body to proportionately get smaller. I am 5'1". I told myself I would be happy at 170lbs, but my PCP (who is managing my after surgery needs) said 140lbs. That is a 139lbs loss, so I will lost half my body weight. 1 Need-a-Sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveandRNYchica 1,155 Posted August 9, 2012 Yeah, I really love my shape, I hope to keep it on a smaller scale. I was probably more an hourglass and then I had a breast reduction. So it will be interesting to see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chitowngirl 886 Posted August 9, 2012 I was hour glass when I was thin, as I became pear shape. I'm hoping to go back to my hour glass shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashleyxx 277 Posted August 9, 2012 When I put my measurements awhile on one of these sites it said I was a "spoon" shape lol so I have no idea! Im 5'7, Im thinking 160lbs for a goal weight, I really have no set goal though, I have been overweight my entire life so I dont know what will look good on me.

ashleyxx 277 Posted August 9, 2012 What is a spoon shape? That is a new on on me. http://www.shopyourshape.com/body-shapes.html Here is the definition: As a Spoon Body type (sometimes called figure 8), your hips are larger than your bust and you have a defined waist. Your hips have a “shelf” appearance, you are prone to gaining weight in your tummy and have a tendency towards love-handles. While you may gain weight in your upper thighs and upper arms, your lower legs and arms are shapely and your best assets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveandRNYchica 1,155 Posted August 9, 2012 Interesting....sounds kinda like hourglass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coops 1,790 Posted August 10, 2012 I used to be a typical pear shape in my earlier days... around 140lb... pretty much kept that shape until I hit my top weight of 238lbs and then I just seemed very 'round' - only 5'2'. Now I am a typical apple shape... it would seem that all my excess weight is not mainly on my tummy... yuk! Still, not complaining as it is easy to hide with the right clothes...lol!

Sammi25 18 Posted August 10, 2012 I am larger on the top than on the bottom, right now im in a size 6 jeans but a large/xl top, i have PCOS so i tend to hold all my weight in my stomach. My chest went from a full double d down to a c, and my stomach has lost about 14 inches around. i have lost 120 pounds so far and my shape isnt changing im just balancing out more now i guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SexySlim 107 Posted August 10, 2012 I always thought I was a pear, maybe a spoon? idk I'm 5'11" I set my own goal weight of 190, but honestly I don't remember ever being under 200 lbs and I've always been at least a size 16 since high school. I have a defined waist and large hips and thighs. My upper body is pretty normal looking. I can wear L tops now, from XL. I know I will still have hips when I get to goal, and I want to keep them (so does my boyfriend lol). 1 SleeveandRNYchica reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thinoneday 445 Posted August 10, 2012 Small waist, small hips, big butt . . . I have a body builders shape (whatever that is) square, narrow, not a pear or apple, more like a board with muscles. . . hahahaha 2 coops and SleeveandRNYchica reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hadouni 301 Posted August 10, 2012 I'm kind-of straight up and down, with boobs so like a boy, with boobs (and no willie)!

MJ's comingN2form 103 Posted August 11, 2012 I have a small waist and very hippy don't know what that's consider. I'm bigger at the bottom but still formed nice at the top! Hey ladies ever stood in the mirror with your arms stretched up and say to yourself "I'll be fine if I can just loose this stomach" 1 hadouni reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
