When your MOM has also had Weight Loss Surgery...

By TheCurvyJones

· 447 views

This situation is so funny to me *and maybe ONLY to me* but my mother was an RNY patient many moons ago back in 2001. She has gone from the high 260's to as low as 119. She's now leveled out at about 150 lbs and is really happy with her body.

 

She is 5'4" and has a medium frame. I am 5'3" with a smaller frame but I have more... assets Bigger breasts, hippier hips, more booty. Our shape is virtually the same though. I was looking at her this week (they came to visit for Christmas) and ....if her shape is any indication of what I might look like at goal, Ima'll be "thicker than a Snicker!"

 

She has a great natural shape. Now I am excited to see how much I will look like that when I get down there. If I even get close I will be happy.

 

Now, it took a long time for her to get to her current weight. She lost very slowly and she doesn't have much loose skin. *sign of the cross that I won't be too different from her*

    I believe the slower you lose it the less skin you develope. I now am developing extra skin. I went to se a plastic surgeon and he said I could do something now as simple as a tummy tuck. I to go through the same thing with my mom she losed her weight on weight watcher but she is small now and I say wow I will be there soon.

    Excess skin is based on genetics more than any other factor.. hopefully your mom blessed you with her elasticity in the skin gene.... mine did NOT. My boobs were saggy from the day they grew in and I've had a little pannus since age 11! Even my 25 year old 119 pound sister who has NEVER been fat has BAT WINGS! Thank GOD for the nip and tuck!
