Big belly

[HealthyLifeStyle 351]

I am 9 months out and have gone from 216 to 131 and still have a huge belly with a lot of fat. I noticed it in recent pics that I have rolls still? How can this be if I only weigh 131 lbs.? I don't get it. I am so skinny everywhere else. How do I get rid of this belly without having plastic surgery?

there probably isn't much fat there - it's probably mostly/all excess skin. I had a lot of rolls when I had a DEXA scan done at 146 lbs. I thought it was all fat - and I wanted to see how much more weight I should lose (thus, i had the scan). Turns out I only had 22% body fat, which is pretty lean for a woman. That "fat" was just skin.

I hate to say it, but plastic surgery is the only want to get rid of it.

TY for this info. I was afraid of that. I am so scared of getting plastic surgery. My family and hubby are so against it also which makes me even more leery.

Its been roughly over 7 months since surgery and as I am leaning out I notice my belly protudes alot too. I think I will wait until a full year and see how 'bad' it actually is. But yeah , nothing wrong with getting plastic surgery.

waiting a year is a good idea - sometimes things shift around and you start looking a lot better. Plus many of us gain 10-20 lbs after hitting our lowest weight, unfortunately. Although not everyone would agree with me, it's probably good to have plastic surgery when your weight has more-or-less stabilized.
