I'm in size 16 now but the butt is baggy. The rest of me isn't small enough to fit into a smaller size.

I'm hoping this is just temporary and the waist area will start to follow because I really don't want to have to be a baggy butt forever!

Lol it will adjust I promise. I was the same way.

If the pants can't fit me the way I like... I'll try until I find a brand that flatters me to my liking. Visceral fat sheds faster than subcutaneous fat stores, so it'll even out eventually.

I just haven't been wearing pants. I stick to jersey skirts and dresses over leggings. I can't wait to get back into pants, but my legs haven't caught up to my waist.

Good to know this won't last forever!

I just don't like skirts yet. I still feel like my calves are huge and pasty. But for some reason I feel ok in capris.

I've ALWAYS had a big butt...even when I was a fit ski instructor and ran cross country. I had to buy jeans to fit my butt and thighs and the waist was always too big and had to cinch it up with a belt. With this surgery I have lost weight in places I normal never have and I completely lost my butt. Now my pant waist fits pretty good and my butt is loose and saggy. Oh yeah, and the nice, voluptuous DD boobs I've had my whole life ( even before I was obese) are sad, limp, barely B cups. My overall body shape has totally changed, but I guess I'll take it :)

I have huge calves as well (I think they'll always be a bit disproportionally large), and so the pants that are in style now (so straight leg or skinny) simply don't fit me. By the time I find something that fits over my calves, the waist is like on clown pants. Hence I stick to leggings under skirts. I actually think it's more flattering that poorly fitting pants, but that's me.

I love Levi Leggings, so stretchy and give so much.

      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.
