I think its pretty much genetically determinend where you store weight. If you have a rounded behind, you probably always will.

On the other hand, I have a typical caucasion wide flat butt, which got even flatter. It just kind of dropped to the back of my knees.

I just wish I had some different blood than bog standard irish somewhere in my history - a bit of Thai or mediterranean blood perhaps?. I'd like a better butt and I'd really rather fancy being darker skinned with brown eyes, than white, freckly and green eyed.

Genetics will determine what your Buns will look like but exercise helps. Certain types of exercise can help minimize how much your butt will fall (if it falls at all).

With that said, my booty has gotten so much better looking! Its fuller, sexier, and higher than ever. Its a firm fatty LOL! Loves it!

I had a HUGE booty before surgery and it has gone down A LOT but it's now looking like a nice butt instead of a HUGE fat one! I do go to the gym 5 days a week to make sure that I'm keeping toned so it doesn't go all saggy, so I'm not sure if that's helping or what!

I love this post. I was a skinny girl (100 lbs) my whole life until I had kids and gained 75 pounds five years ago. I never had an ass until I gained weight and I told my husband if I lose my butt I am getting butt implants (hell Ive already gotten the boob implants and I love em). I just couldnt imagine myself without a booty again! I would miss it so much! As much as I hate being so overweight, Ive really grown attached to some of my curves.

LOL......well, I was looking at mine in the mirror last night after my shower and it looks like a deflated balloon......so sad!!!

Gonna have to look into PS seriously.....

And I have only had to lose about 75 pounds (funny to hear myslef say "only" 75)........and have only been heavy the last 10 yrs of my life, so I kinda expected less sagginess, but I am 52 so.......

oh well...........the spanxx are extremely helpful. Between spanxx and Victoria's secret, no one knows it xcept me and the hubby........my arms looks decent, my face has no saggy chin skin, so its all "underneath" LOL

      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

      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.
