Recommended Posts

Ok so does anyone elses butt freaking hurt all the time now? OMG sometimes I can hardly sit down. someone told me it was because i no longer have the extra padding there..but the thing is in my family my dad has this joke that we belong to an Indian tribe the NoAssAtAlls, because both of us have an almost concove butt..not saying its not wide just flat as a pancake on a hot grill..its just so annoying to me.

Im glad I lost my weight, but COME ON! Ive got to sit every now and then dont I..

With the things people share here sometimes, I sooo had to debate with myself whether or not to open this thread.

I've not noticed much difference in my bottom, but even at a normal weight I had junk in my trunk.

I've noticed it in other areas, tho. E.g. I drive with my legs splayed, and my left knee used to sit comfortably against the door panel, and know if I do it my knee bones make uncomfortable contact.

Elena M..just cause youre fat doesnt mean you have a butt! Im telling you, when when I was fat, it was still borderline on being concave!!

Oh crapola! I think I wet my undies right now....LOL!

You are so right, I guess that's my case.... it's wide, but no bubble.... my daughter says that I have a rectangular butt... whatever that is...

That would be me, also. I'm hoping that I get a bit more curve as I lose weight. Right now, it's just flat.

I really do wish my butt would go down. :rolleyes:

Picture the profile of a rubber ducky. Now replace that big old ducky chest with small boobs and a flatish abdominal profile.

That's me.

Speaking of butts, does anyone else have "the shelf"? AKA the place where the butt actually exits the rest of the body. (My theory is that "the shelf" comes from sitting down, as in desk job. The fat is gradually reshaped upward.) Pre-op you could pretty much actually set things on my butt shelf and they woulda stayed.

OMG, looking for a graphic to help describe this, shy of slapping (no pun intended) my own derriere up on here, I found out this is an actual thing. Shelf Butt. Of course the whole "an otherwise not large woman" doesn't really apply to me.

geez well appreciate that youve got a but, seriously if you take a pic of me standing sideways, it looks like someone erased my butt in photohop!I cant even put my hands in my back pockets cause theres nothing there to stop them! On the plus side however, my butt has never been pinched!..youd have to find it first!

After a brief analysis... when I was slimmer back in the days.... I was sort of flat....but at the time I thought I had a big butt and wanted to lose some, but it was wide, just wide....which is not good, ultimate conclusion...I have a large flat , rectangularish butt...one more reason to be depressed...:rolleyes:

well on the good news, you can now say that you belong to the NoAssAtAll tribe...because this totally makes up for having flat butts that either curve in instead of out (me) or have odd geometric shapes!

How can I have a shelf when I don't even have a butt, I only have width.... and the saddest part is that I got to that conclusion today, all these years I thought I had a big butt, but I really didn't....

Nope, I would much rather have your butt, because I think it helps to disguise the tummy... people would look at the butt instead of the front... I would rather be the pear shape.... I'm an apple...or a big watermellon....not sure anymore...:omg:

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
