Mine may have decreased a little, but didn't completely go away on the back of my legs.

I've heard it's lots and lots of squats but I believe genetics plays into it too. I want my butt back so I am doing lots and lots of squats and lunges.

I am still not at goal, but even when I was younger and at my goal weight, I had some cellulite. A lot of it is genetics.

Uh ... Not meaning to be harsh, just realistic, with this post.

Unless you're 18 years old, and you haven't lost and gained weight several (much less many) times before losing weight via WLS, you aren't going to wind up looking like a swimsuit model when you reach your weight goal.

BTW, most swimsuit model pix are airbrushed. About three women in the world look like we all think we deserve to look. ;)

I gotta say I think there are some unrealistic ideas of what we're going to look like at goal. Most of us have really abused the bodies we were born with. We've stretched our skin and under-exercised our muscles for the most part, some of us for most of our lives. And we have not fed them the most nutritious foods or enough Water. Some of us have damaged our joints and spine. We aren't starting with a clean slate.

I say this really to say that we have so much to gain from WLS. But we should also be realistic about what we can expect as our best outcomes.

90% of women have cellulite (true statistic, not an exaggeration). Even skinny ones. Unless you are 20 years old and a model, you are going to have cellulite.

Here's an article with some tips for how you might be able to reduce cellulite:

At goal and I still have some cellulite on my legs. I run 3 mornings a week, walk 3 mornings a week, zumba one night a week, and body pump 2 nights a week. In body pump we do about 1000 to 1200 reps in an hour. Lots of those are squats and lunges and I still have some. It is better, but it does not go away like magic.

me too! my butt was getting small, so I started doing squats, lunges and flunges (flying lunges).

I've heard it's lots and lots of squats but I believe genetics plays into it too. I want my butt back so I am doing lots and lots of squats and lunges.

      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.
