Hourglass before and after.

I was a very bottom heavy pear or triangle before weight loss. Now after losing 145 pounds and plastics, I like to think I'm an hour glass. I still have thick thighs/calves, though. I guess I don't care what I call it, it's way better than it was!

I think women's shapes are more varied and nuanced than the half dozen or so "shapes" shown in the OP.

The silhouettes we present are altered by attributes like the lengths and widths of our arms, legs, necks, hands and feet and by our postures and how broadly (or narrowly) we position and present our bodies.

Some people are thicker side-to-side, some are thicker front-to-back, and others are neither.

And, of course, our hair styles affect our silhouettes.

As do the fits and styles of the clothing and shoes we choose to wear.

And then there are the changes we all undergo as we age. Our shapes when young aren't the same as our shapes in middle age or when we're of "senior" age.

There are so many variations in our bodies and ways we can alter those without losing an ounce. Why should we imagine we fit into only six "shapes"?

I'll spare you all my rant on "Red Carpet" expectations of women in the current selfie culture. ;)

      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.
