My ass is melting



Recommended Posts

Mine too is gone. Pretty ironic since the booty is so in these days!

I used to have such a cute, round, perky butt :( after I got fat, I avoided looking in the mirror or having pictures taken at all costs. I'm sure it was hideous, but I guess I was expecting to have my old butt back after I lost weight. Apparently,.I'm gonna have to give it some help cause at this point, I ain't got enough back to hold my pants OR panties up

Fyi... last winter I was injured by a personal trainer who was trying to rebuild my ass. Turns out...plenty of guys are fine with a skinny ass girl!

Squats -- breathing squats -- squats with heavy weights ...

Word of caution: Squats can ruin your knees. I speak from considerable experience. With some of the world's best bodybuilding coaches. Still ruined.

I appreciate the warnings! Cowgirl - was your injury knee-related too?

I now call mine a back with a crack!!!!

OMG! So funny! I was shocked to see my booty disappearing. Really? I have 30 plus pounds to go. What in the world will I have left? And while I'm willing to fix my girls and my tummy, if I can afford it, my butt.......

Thank you all so much for the laugh today. Some of your responses were just hilarious! I don't have much of a bum right now, but to lose what I have could be quite disturbing.

post op a few months later +

even a year

your skin can/DOES tighten up a bit (like the song) :lol:

many people wait on having plastic surgery

they wait til the skin is tighter

being younger is one factor of your skin tightening

but for many, it definitely does firm up a bit :)

i am an a YOUNG fart of 60 :lol:

for me - i realized my tushy was gone (happened over time - just didn't notice :( )

in the same way, i realized my rear end was a little firmer :)

plenty of loose skin - but a little firmer

this can also happen other body areas

don't throw in the towel yet

many people wait awhile before having plastic surgery

since your skin might firm up

its better for mother nature to do its thing

in the long end - its worth the wait

warning warning

attempted analogy below

we built a house last year

big, long stone driveway

i would love to have it paved it immediately

we live in snow - harder to snow blow

but we are waiting a year til the house "settles"

then we will pave the driveway

thats the way you are supposed to to do "it"

its hard to wait, but its much better to do

just like plastic surgery, its worth the wait

"God Grant Me Patience,Just Hurry About It"

i am starting a movement to outlaw any loose skin

who is with me? ;)

after all is said and done

i would rather have some loose skin "hanging" around than all that blubber :D

good luck :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
