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

      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.
