So I had never looked at myself from behind, since wt loss I was only looking at my flat tummy that reappeared from my 2005 Tummy Tuck. We are on vacation and they have a huge mirror in the bathroom at the resort. Last night I saw myself from the back and I look like a deflated blow up doll! LOL. My butt is sagging and all wrinkled at the base of my legs......gee and the doc wants me to lose 60 more pounds!!! I already knew I have sock boobs and skin hanging under my arms but I was so shocked to see my sagging butt. I guess I will have to live with it because I would need a full body lift and cannot afford that, don't get me wrong, I would not want to fill all the skin up with fat again, but Spanx will love me when I reach my goal!!!

We have all discovered we have "sharpei butt"! lol. Of course, it may have been all wrinkly before but bigger but we just never looked. Really get the exercise going to help this out.

But glad you have lost so much weight that this is a problem. it's actually a good problem to have!

I'm a sharpei all over the place and I will not have plastic surgery to lift any of it because it's to painful from when I had it done to remove a problem I had when I was much, much bigger.

I workout four days a week on the stationary bicycle and I know plan on doing weight work outs to maybe help tighten some of my sharpei look.

I look better in my clothes then out of them. LOL

People can't tell where I'm loose thank goodness.

Thank goodness for clothes and I don't mean loose fitting either.

I'm not looking for a model physique I'm looking to be healthy.

      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.
