What body type do you have after your weight loss?



Recommended Posts

After being an apple shape for a long time. I was surprised to find out I am a inverted triangle body type.

I'm a rectangle. LOL It's hard to find pants because everything is cut for women with hips and I ain't got 'em.

Though I haven't lost a chunk of my weight (let's be honest, at this point I have only lost pieces) I am starting to see a shape take place. It appears as if I wasn't always meant to be "round" and will most likely take on a more of a hour glass/inverted triangle shape.

I'm noticing that there isn't an equivalent site for guys*. No wonder you women have so many body image issues. Not judging, just noticing.

* Not completely fair, guys who read men's health magazine seem to desire bigger arms and shoulders than women like...those dummies should do market research into what women want, not what magazines try to sell them (hint, hint ladies, quit listening to the media and figure out what guys like...oh wait many times you are listening to other women ;-))

Inverted triangle for sure. I've always had wide shoulders and big boobs, lol.

Triangle. Would love to perk up the top but still healing from removing the excess skin from the lower and/hip area. Still have a skinny waist but big hips and thighs.

Hourglass. Even when I was fatter. I've always been smaller in the middle than anywhere else.

Inverted triangle before, (but with a gut) and inverted triangle now, (but without the gut!). I was always lucky to carry the weight "all over". Once my bod settled down after entering maintenance, things turned out very proportional, still a size bigger on top than on bottom tho :-)

I'm wearing low rise jeans. I just don't have the curvy hips to fill out other jeans.

Love your perspective. The media kills me selling us their version of attractive. That also includes the guy's. :P

My shape has morphed from a triangle to a life saver with a pencil stuck through it. I am eligible to have a panniculectomy done after my two year mark on December 23rd. Then I will be a fabulous hourglass.

Hourglass. Even fat I had a smaller waist and bigger hips and top... I seem to gain and lose proportionally.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
