ReneK 107 Posted April 19, 2016 I have a dilemma. I have lost 60+ pounds since my 1/6/16 surgery. I am thrilled to death! However, the weight loss hasn't been propotionate..I've lost more in my boobs/legs/hips than in my belly. I understand that everyone loses differently but I'm having a tough time finding jeans! Everything that fits around my belly is saggy in my butt! Any suggestions? Does anyone know a style or type of jeans that I might be able to try until my belly gets a little smaller? Thanks!

reree6898 1,164 Posted April 19, 2016 I feel your pain but in a different way. I can wear like a 14 in the waist but my legs-calves mostly are still bigger and the legs of the jeans don't fit so I have to get bigger ones to accommodate my legs. I have the perpetual baggy butt when wearing jeans right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cdeisroth 420 Posted April 19, 2016 I don't know what size you are but if you are a 12 or above I suggest the jeans at torrid. They have a decent stretch to them so you can buy a size that fits your legs and butt and they will still stretch around your tummy. I have always had slimmer legs, no butt and have carried my weight in my stomach so these have been my go to jeans for years. They are a little pricey but the often have but 1 get one 50% off sales and coupons you can find online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Read2016 658 Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) I'm still pre-op but my belly is bigger than the rest of me... I would suggest old navy rock star skinny, mid rise.... Ny York and company has very stretchy Jeggings... These jeans are all cheaper...

Sajijoma 1,324 Posted April 19, 2016 I am the same shape. I have no butt, no thighs really, but my bulk of my weight is across my belly and hips. I find the Lane Bryant skinny jeans work really well. They have stretch so it's not painful in the belly, but are "skinny" enough that they still hug my butt and thighs. Definitely worth it. Just don't buy too many because you seriously won't make back your money wearing them before you are on to the next size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cervidae 2,389 Posted April 20, 2016 man, these are great suggestions! I have the exact same issue. Following. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Denise007 13 Posted April 20, 2016 I used to work at Lane Bryant and they had jeans that fit different body types. My issue had always been that I have a large stomach and bird legs. Yay me! And their jeans worked well. I'll see if i can link you. I believe Torrid has the same type of jean as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Denise007 13 Posted April 20, 2016 They were called Right Fit, but it looks like they've switched over to Genius Fit. But yeah, they're expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pqmr 7 Posted April 21, 2016 Try Maurice's. They have jeans for every body type. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiteyMom 18 Posted April 21, 2016 I so wish I could wear jeans/ pants. All my weight is in my hips and thighs and I haven't worn jeans in 25 years! Even losing over 65 lbs hasn't let me fit into pants. And I DO NOT WEAR stretch pants. So I'm looking forward to losing more weight, having the plastic surgery for the excess droopy skin and someday I will walk into Nordstroms and ask the personal shopper to find me some pants!!! I'm happy for the rest of you gals! Happy shopping!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharkgirl 251 Posted April 22, 2016 Try Maurice's. They have jeans for every body type. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App This was going to be my suggestion too. I also had to buy a belt because the waist and butt would be too big but I can't get the jeans small enough to fit those parts and not be too tight in the legs. The belt is helping a lot; who knew! I haven't worn a belt in 20 years. I've also been doing a ton of squats and lunges to improve my flat butt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
