Weight loss out of proportion



Recommended Posts

I’m happy with my weight loss but it’s coming off in some areas and not others... Sleeved 8/20/18, down 76 lbs since pre-op diet (HW 265, SW 255). 39 lbs from goal of 150!! However, my calves and lower abdomen are still fat whereas my thighs/butt have almost disappeared. Anyone else experience this? Thanks!

Welcome to hell. :) You'll eventually get there. It may take some working out, may take some Lipo and surgery...but you'll get there!

Sleeved in late October and I have the same thing. Losing all my weight in my legs, butt, and boobs. I had to lose 50# before I dropped a pant size. My old pants still fit perfectly in the waist, and were droopy drawers in the butt and legs. Not at all how I lost in previous attempts (except the boobs - they're always the first to go). For example, my first month, I lost a half inch in my waist, 2.5 in my butt, and an inch in each thigh. way out of proportion to their original size. I can only hope that it'll eventually even out. I suspect that since I'm in my 40s, the belly weight will just come off slower. It did catch up a little in month 2 in terms of inches. I'll have to see at the end of the month how its looking now.

I am gonna be shaped like the Great Pyramid of Egypt, little pinhead on top but the round ass and thunder thighs will be the last to go!

Thanks, everyone! I expected the abdominal area to be stubborn but not the calves... New problem that I never imagined having—finding skinny jeans that fit my skinny thighs and not as skinny calves! 😂

Wow that would be a problem, my mama would make you wear bell bottoms until it balances out. Gosh I hated bell bottoms, the sloppiness and sloppiness drove me bonkers. I once had a Middy top to go with them , if anyone from the Navy had seen me, they would have drowned me but Mama thought I looked "precious and cute" IDK WHY?

Very uneven weight loss. I always carried a lot of weight in my bottom. The lower part of my bottom completely disappeared. But the upper part (shelf) didn't. Not attractive. Of course the weight came off the breasts first. Still carrying the last few extra pounds in my stomach and back shelf. I'm hoping when I lose my last 15 to 20 pounds the shelf and stomach fat will be gone. I guess it just forces us to try to lose it all so that our shape comes back.

Yeah, what the heck with where the weight comes off? 🙂 It never comes off where you want it to. So far I'm measuring once a week or every two weeks and I've lost more in my thighs than anywhere else, which surprises the hell out of me. I like looking at a combination of the number on the scale as well as the tape measurer. I hope to lose it a little bit of everywhere, but time will tell.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
