Did you lose proportionately ?



Recommended Posts

Hello there! I was just wondering how many people lose proportionately? How many people's body types change all together? I have been as long as I can remember more hourglass shape proportionately. I've always considered the "girls" to be my greatest asset and my husband has always had a fondness of my rearend. I'm scheduled to be sleeved on 10/25. My husband is very supportive. He wants me happy and healthy, but doesn't care about my size. However, the last couple of days he has been making a lot of reference to my rearend and how much he is going to miss it?!? Good riddence! I say, but wonder if I will lose proportionately so it will still be the same proportion to my new and improved waist. Just wondering what others have experienced.

For me it seems like my boobs are going first. But I think mostly it depends on how you exercise. I am new to the world of exercise, so right now I'm power walking, so my lower half of my body is changing first. I'm going to start at the gym soon and the woman that owns it says she is going to help me come up with a program that helps with all over weight loss. Maybe that's an idea you could check out. I'm only 2.5 months out, so I'm not an expert.

everyone is different. I am hourglass too and I find when I have lost in the past I became even more so (I never lost from my boobs and very little from my hips). We shall see this time. I gained weight on my tummy after my pregnancy with my son and that is new for me.

I was a B cup before I had kids and gained all this weight. I am now a D, going back to a B will be fine with me. My husband married me smaller so he won't complain. I am sick of being obese, I don't want to be on blood pressure meds anymore or have more health problems as I age.

Lots of people lose their boobs and their butts when they lose. You can build up your Buns with exercise but some people end up having plastic surgery to fix their boobs and sagging tummies after weight loss. I am 54 and had 4 huge babies, I don't expect to look like a super model when this is all over.

Go to YouTube and search WLS, RNY, VSG, etc. People make videos of their weight loss journeys. I would say most lose upper body size before they lose lower body. They show videos of their excess skin after loss. It's hard to predict, everyone is different, but for me being a healthy, normal weight is the ultimate goal!

I was the same way when I was younger, my tummy stayed small for a long time even as I got bigger. Age changes that a lot, now I have more around the middle. But yep, everyone is different and post weight loss we may look different than we expect to look.

        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
