ThickGirl5683 318 Posted June 17, 2017 I am 3 mos. Post op today and 58lbs down (this includes the 9lbs I lost on my 3 day liver shrinking diet).. I bought my first pair of Bermuda shorts in a 12, but they were still snug in the thighs.... Why does it seem like my thighs aren't getting smallerHw: 240Sw: 232Cw: 182Gw: True size 10 or 160Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PatientEleventyBillion 851 Posted June 17, 2017 Could just be skin. Could be the way your body distributes weight. 1 ThickGirl5683 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwoman77 9 Posted June 17, 2017 Sorry to say that excercise is the only solution. Walking will help. I did not lose much in my thighs either. My top got smaller than my bottom half of my body. It is starting to balance out now because of all the walking i do now. 1 ThickGirl5683 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went to see my dr yesterday and he said its not enough to have removed and that they will continue to get smaller.Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just started working out at the gym too so hopefully that will help tooSent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naturegirl 320 Posted June 21, 2017 I've always had large hips, thighs, and calves. While I've gone from a size 22-6/8 those are still problem areas. I now have loads of extra skin that if wasn't there might make them smaller. I don;t plan to have surgery on those areas, so I have resigned myself to keeping them as tone as possible. I run a fair amount and laugh at all the bad race pictures of my extra (loose) skin looking like a sharpee (wrinkly dog). Me, I try to find the positive in it. At least they are no where near as big as they were previously! 1 ThickGirl5683 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AK_Bookworm 116 Posted June 21, 2017 I know your pain... I'm 5 weeks out and haven't dropped a size in jeans and shirts yet because of my thighs and arms. 2 ThickGirl5683 and LoseitNat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
