I was always heavier on the bottom but I have now evened out. My legs and butt are alot smaller and I am in proportion with the loss.

I am small on the lower half now before surgery. Where, how, and when should/ would I begin to research the butt topic? I have never had a back end and when I loose this weight its going bye bye. This is sometime I have always wanted all of my life. I would appreciate some help if you know of some procedures that could help me.

I saw on Youtube; a woman with butt implants that wasn't done right and could she flip them around it horrified me so bad. I just thought that I would be "Butt-less in Minnesota". I rather have no butt than to risk that. LOL, LOL LOL.

I am pre-op but this is my experience when I lost weight previously after having my daughter. I have always been bottom heavy. At 5 1.5 inches and 120lbs, I was called "fat" because any extra weight I carried was in my butt. I had scrawny shoulders, no bust, no belly. When I delivered my daughter, I was about 185. Losing the baby weight was a struggle, took about 18 months. I never lost it all but got down to 130. What I did do was a lot of upper body Nautilis as well as leg work. I still had strong legs and a big butt but by building up my shoulders and chest muscles, I was more proportioned. I was wearing an 8 then. I'd love to get to about 120 post op but I'll be thrilled if I hit 130 again; I have lost a half an inch due to herniated discs.

Building up your lower half isn't hard. Do lunges, leg presses. Any exercise that is designed to "tone" a butt and thighs will also build muscle there as well.

I got junk in the trunk as well. Lol. I'm shaped like Chaka khan. We are about the same height. Always been hour glass shaped even @ 299 lbs. I just embrace it!

I'm preop and I'm praying that I don't lose my butt. I don't want to look disproportionate (which I think you are referring to) but I would like to have the coke bottle shape. If my belly goes it will be awesome but then again its look like a bag of laundry or be thinner and healthier.

They say women gain from the bottom up and lose from the top down! Lol

From my previous weight loss experience to build my buttock I would do squats, lunges, & walk the treadmill at a 10% incline. I was dating my husband at the time. So, I'd say it worked! ;-)

I'm curious as to how I shall look when I get smaller. I am currently preop but I have very little tummy (I'm 275) so I am def bottom heavy. I am going to do lots of squats to maintain the booty.

      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.
