Speaking of doughy bellies



Recommended Posts

I have noticed that my enormous belly has cellulite! I have never had that before because my stomach was so big. Does having a doughy belly mean that I'm losing weight? I don't seem to budge on the scale but I noticed my belly looks terrible today when I took a shower. I'm absolutely thrilled. I know that I have dropped a couple of pants sizes though the blouse size remains enormous. I want to have a Tummy Tuck though I can't afford it. Well, maybe I can. My friend had one for about $7000! Amazing. I hope to get thin enough to really need a tummy tuck. But I'm happy with a doughy belly. Now if Christmas and baklava doesn't ruin everything......

I just checked it again and it has lumps. I'm really thrilled. I never thought that belly would go away. Maybe in 3 years, it will be gone. Okay, maybe 5 years what with that baklava. But this lapband thing may work.

haha! never thought you would be happy with a doughy belly huh? weightloss certainly puts things into perspective doesn't it...for someone else a belly like that would be a curse but for us 'loosers' it is a blessing and something to get really excited about!

Yep, it means you've lost weight. I went through a terrible period where I suddenly looked so flabby and my cellulite was much worse, but then as I've lost more fat and toned up with exercise, its really improved again.

Now my belly is still a bit blobby, but basically the only real problem will be crepey skin rather than an apron, I've been extremely lucky.

      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.
