weird body shape



Recommended Posts

i am getting frustrated with my stupid body shape. i have lost like 37 lbs and am only down like a pant size, maybe 2, depending on the pants. it sucks! i carry most of the weight in my stomach area and now it hangs even worse then before. to fit in the waist the legs and butt of the pants are huge and look funny. a better fit there means too tight in the waist and i get the spillage muffin top look which is icky too. i know i shouldnt complain, i am losing and eventually it will be catch up, its just frustrating.

Hey, I have the same problem. Just try to be patient the next few months. I have skinny legs but a big waist (I'm and apple). I've lost close to 50lbs and notice my double chin is gone, my legs are skinnier and I have lost off of my boobs. Still a big old waist. When I have lost weight b/4, that's the way it always went. Eventually it will come off around the middle.

I just ordered some yoga pants from Champion and Victorias Secret. VS has them on sale right now for 2/$40. I got them the other day and they are great. I ordered the XL or now and L or later. I love them. Was able to dress them up with a sweater, etc. (Cannot tell when you cover the elastic waist that either of them are yoga pants). The VS pants came in talls (yeh) and in lots of colors.

Good luck...looks like you are going great with your weight loss.

I have no idea what is going on with my body. MY stomach hangs over worse than ever also. Then I have the whole hanging man boobs going on here too. Then there are the thighs. I anm not sure what is going on there, but my problem is the opposite from above. I have to get my pants bigger in the waist so they are not too tight in the thighs. I pray every thing will even out sometime soon.:)

I am apple shaped also with the big waist. I found a pair of pants in my "skinny" closet that still had the tags on them. I tried them on and they fit pretty good. I noticed one of the tags said something about a 1" expandable waistline. It made all the difference. I'm going to keep looking for this expandable waistline. They were Dockers for women.

      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.
