Lipo for thighs...need advice



Recommended Posts

I'm considering Lipo for my inner thighs cuz I've taken up jogging and want to be be a 5k addict but I HATE that my shorts ride up my thighs even when I walk. I don't want the lipo for aesthetic reasons and I know it'll likely make my thigh skin even saggier but I'd love to be able to walk n jog without pulling my shirts outta my crotchety every 2 steps. Anyone else have any suggestions or can u tell me if ppl with smaller thighs still have this problem at all. I've always had big legs so I don't know what having thighs that don't touch would be like.

Why not wear runners leggings instead, the tight ones and wait to have your surgery after you've lost all your weight so you won't have to go under the knife multiple times.

I wear either the runners shorts or tight workout pants and never have a problem with riding up and I have a lot of excess skin there. But these help hold it all in and are super comfy.

I already wear compression pants under them. They don't compress enough and shorts I wear over still ride like mad so I just hike em up on the outside too for shorty shorts lol. I'm 8 pounds from goal and expect to drop under once I'm exercising regularly.

This is what I'm dealing with. There's a space between my thighs at the very top but still lotsa full flab underneath that likes to hang out together. I wouldn't go as far as to get a thigh lift with the big scars down the inside just cuz I don't want my shorts riding but if Lipo will solve my problem I'm all about trying that.

How about doing exercises that target that area. Squats and leg lifts might work just an idea Lipo might make you all dimply

I agree, I would try doing some exercises that work that area.

      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.
