Pear Shaped

[Joy428 3]

Hi Everyone!!!! My name is Joy and I am new here. i am so excited that have finally started this process. I have been talking to my family about my choice to this and my sisters had a great question....... since I am pear shaped now, when I lose will it make me look funny? They were wondering if I will lose in my stomach at the same rate as my thighs and butt. Any one else pear shaped before surgery that can share their story with me? Thanks!!!!!

Hi, Joy! I am pear shaped. All of us lose at different rates, so what is true for one pear, might not be true for another. I was skinny for a long time before gaining my weight and have always been a pear, the way I have lost has been surprising to me. First, I have a very pronounced waist now (which I LOVE, btw), and of course my hips butt and thighs are still bigger than my top, but I am much bustier than I was when I was slim before, also my arms are very flabby, much flabbier than I would have imagined, but my butt, and thighs while having shrunk considerably, have not sagged while my belly and boobs certainly have. I don't look funny shaped in clothes, I'm 175 pounds now at 5'3" I am still losing, I am a size 10-12 pant, M-L top (depending on brand), and a 38D. I started out at 265, 22-24 pant, 2-3x top, 44DD. I had surgery Nov 3rd. Hope this helps! Feel free to message me any time and congrats on making a choice for your continued health!

So I can't attest to the surgery weight loss but I had lost 60 pounds naturally at 5'6" and 210 down to 150 and my shape stayed nicely proportionately pear, although I loose my boobs from D to small B. of course, I put the weight back on and decided to stop the yo-yo and do something more life changing. I am now 4 weeks out and down 20 and it's coming off evenly. Less back fat, flatter stomach, face thinned out. Boobs sadly filling out the D less too. Arms still ugly so might need to target them with exercise.
