So when does the "front butt" go away? I've got 30 lbs to go to get to my goal and I swear half of that is my front butt... It really makes fitting clothes/undies difficult. A thong? Forget about it.

Just curious if there are others battling the same problem, or those who had this problem did it eventually go w/o plastics?

I'm assuming your talking about the fat pad in the pubic area. I am 5 lbs from goal and still have quite a large one. I'm thinking maybe liposuction?

@@amazon Maybe need plastics if it's bad and not going away with exercise.

Hi @@jacileggs - I was referring to having a fat lower belly. From the naval down to my bikini line. I think the area you mentioned = mons. That area on me has improved a bit. Hoping for more improvement of course ;) With Lipo, wouldn't you end up with loose skin? Just wondering.... I know I've read of people getting a Tummy Tuck and mons lift at the same time.

I've always carried a good portion of my weight around my hips. Now my butt and thighs are disappearing, but the low belly in front is taking it's sweet time.

That's what I was thinking. I suppose I'll pursue that after I've reached goal. I have no idea if my insurance covers a pannulectomy. It would help if it did.

Front butt! lol Cracks me up. I knew exactly what you were talking about when I saw it. I'm only at the beginning of the process (surgery was 12/29) and I'm already doing research on the mommy makeover surgery. I mean, I hoping I can reduce my front butt with healthy eating and exercise alone but I'm being realistic too. I've had it for so long! I know it's going to put up a fight when I want it to leave lol.

@@hdd55146 :D

You and I have very similar stats (height, starting & goal). Guess we share the same FB curse, lol.

My husband has all ready said that if I want plastics later on, he'll find a way. (what a good guy) I didn't go in to this journey worrying about loose skin. I would much rather be healthy and deflated, than obese and diabetic, etc. But when I try on different things, my FB taunts me. Perhaps my new nemesis will help me stay on my program diligently. A daily reminder of sorts.

You're a week out from surgery - how are you feeling? I hope everything went with out a hitch!

@amazon I am feeling pretty good! Thanks for asking. I've been blessed not to have any complications (thus far) or any major difficulties adjusting to this new lifestyle. I hear ya about just wanting to get healthy. That's what it's all about. I can't wait to not huff and puff up stairs anymore. lol Seeing your stats gives me something to look forward to. I can't wait to be in onederland again. It's been way too long! I'm excited to be so close....even if my front butt gets to stay around for it. :P

...what is Mons? Don't understand?

@@Buttercupbrown I took this from the web: The area of the lower abdomen at the level of the bikini line is the mons pubis

If you Google/search "mons lift", you'll get a good idea :)

@@amazon and @@hdd55146 you girls have a great sense if humor. I love it! I was wondering if reverse crunches would help tighten mine. I have started doing them before bed time. My surgery is jan 28th.

@@Buttercupbrown, your mons is the large area at the top of your vajay; where the majority of pubic hair is located. It's also called the top of the "moose knuckle". ????????

I posted this on another thread ad well, but the mons gets lifted when a Tummy Tuck is done. The surgeon will cut directly above the pubic hair line, and when the tummy incision is approximated, the mons gets lifted.

I also have a fb I had a c-section 23 years ago and was cut from my navel straight down to my bikini line not to mention I have a apron when I was at goal weight it was still there and when I gained weight all 25 pounds went right to my fb plastics is the only option to remove it.

      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.
