Massive gut not shrinking



Recommended Posts

I've been lucky on my neck... nothing loose at all.

Although I can hold a pencil under my butt cheek now, the way my sag is... (Not a joke. I tried it.)

My stomach was the last thing to start shrinking it is also where I carry most of my excess skin so I think it’s pretty normal it will go eventually :)

I love hip thrusts. I use Aussie fit torsion bars and put my feet up on the edge of a rower. My hips bruise a bit but i hardly notice.

Everybody sheds weight differently. My tummy and derrière are always last to go. My face and arms, legs, neck always first.

Just keep going and isolate the parts that are hard to shed fat when you work out.

You look great! Congrats and keep going [emoji4]

It may have to do with where you carry the most weight... I carry a lot of weight in my chest and that's reducing slowly but my shape is still the same presurgery just smaller
I hear sculpting the body through Weight training is one option to reshape your body

Ha ha! AWESOME. Not mocking you, I mean your sense of humor is awesome.

Have you heard of "The Pencil Test". It was suggested as a way to measure breast development for girls. If a girls breast could hold a pencil that meant it was time for a bra.

So my question is, what does that mean for your backside? Do they make underwire for the azz? If so what colors and patterns would be best? :D

Picturing so many awesome memes right now . . . .

I unfortunately have a B shaped belly and I was hoping as the weight came off that would change but it hasn't. I still carry a lot of weight in my upper abdomen and my belly button is more hidden then when I was 300 pounds. I don't think I will every get rid of this without some sort of plastic surgery. I'm down 120 pounds and my stomach looks like a smaller version of what it did 120 pounds ago

      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.
