I like this thread.

I can post a newer pic.

I get called chicken legs all the time. I wish my upper body was as small as my lower body.

Maybe with more cardio.

Thanks for replying. It's great to see ladies that are shaped like me. My coworkers actually measured my ankles once because they are so skinny which sucks since my top half is so wide. But you look great, by the way.

You look great! Now I'm going to keep thinking about my legs as chicken legs! LOL It's the perfect analogy, saggy but in clothes- chicken legs!

I kind of have the bony butt problem already. Hopefully it won't get to much worse post sleeve.

I'm about 6 weeks post op now. I'm seeing minor improvements already. But I'm trying to keep my expectations in check. Anymore progress pics from you apple shaped vets would be great.

I need to get updated pics. My measurements are 40-30-38 so I am relatively skinny assed but my tummy really did shrink with weight loss. I did have plastics, but my waist measurement didn't change much. My hip measure shrunk because the extra skin from my hanging tummy is now gone. I was more voluptous looking on the hips (with clothes) before plastics because my extra tummy skin could be cleverly spread out under Shapewear to make some hips..haha.

So, I am slightly top heavy looking now I guess but really pleased with the transformation from barrel to to something closer to an hourglass. I intentionally choose quite small implants as i did not want to be huge looking on top.

I'm far from done, but I basically lost a person from around my middle (32 inches). And I can finally wear prettier bras!

It doesn't get any better I started at 254 my initial goal weight was 150 but at 160 new it would have to be much lower so now I am 137 and still feel fat because of my stomach so now I pushed my goal to 130 and I've told myself that at 130 even if I dont like what I see I have to stop. Went from wearing a size 26 pants to a size 12 a size 3x shirt to a lg and that due to needing a bigger shirt to cover my stomach. Just bought my first dress last week a size lg but now need to buy some Spanx to look good in it you would think 130 pounds on a 5ft1 inch frame you would be skinny well not for an apple shape. My 1 year is coming up March 12 will post pic then.

I'm Down about 50 pounds from my pre- surgery weight and while I know I've lost some inches from my waist, my tummy is still as round as ever. I still have 85 lbs to go, though. If anyone else has more pics, I'd love to see 'em.

      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.
