newme50 7 Posted August 28, 2013 So I am scheduled for sept 4th and just had my last pre op appt. while waiting I met a woman who was 6 mos out and 70 pounds lost. While that is great, she lost most of the weight at the top of her body- leaving her butt, thighes and calves still big. I mean no disrespect but it looked awful!!! I am also big at the bottom and having second thoughts!!! Has this happened yo anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArmyOfMe 82 Posted August 28, 2013 Everybody carries their weight differently. To the naked eye, we might look the same but that's visual manipulation. We are all uniquely build. She might have lost mostly on her upper body and bottom has to catch up but don't think you will lose the same. I do understand your fear, though. It's natural. Have faith in your body's ability to shed the extra pounds. Important is, that you are losing. 1 lisalisalisa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
libra_lisa 136 Posted August 28, 2013 I still have my thighs and hips which I absolutely love because I'm curvey almost and I do mean almost like a coke bottle shape lol I was amazed how I still had thighs bc I thought after a 90 pound lost I wouldnt still have them (started at 294) but yea everyone carry their weight differently 2 Shauna29 and skinny_minnie_wannabe reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted August 28, 2013 I am heavier on the bottom as well, but with exercise you can even things out a bit as well. She probably did not exercise!!!! 1 one4ozzie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoccerMomma73 1,867 Posted August 28, 2013 In contrast, I am apparently going to have no butt at all when I lose a bit more. Sigh 2 one4ozzie and deaddemmama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJenn 542 Posted August 28, 2013 I have a butt. Always did. I'm finding it isn't going anywhere. Lol but in fine with it as long as the scale goes down. I'm not hippy and my thighs aren't big. But I could see how that could scare you. Everyone is different. Don't let her journey take you off course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deaddemmama 474 Posted August 29, 2013 I never had much butt, and it's totally gone now..wish I'd lose more boob! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisalisalisa 54 Posted August 30, 2013 They are right, everyone is different and everyone has their own issues with their body. My butt is big now but ends up flat when I'm smaller. Think of it this way though, booty is in! People are getting implants to have big butts so you would be ahead of the game and smoking hot lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
