Some things are just out of your control like where you lose and sagging skin. My advice is to enjoy the journey and try not to worry about things too much. You are off to a great start!

Everyone has a predetermined shape. If you are pear shaped now you will be pearshaped when you lose but you will be a smaller pear. There is nothing you can do about it, there is no diet that will enable you to choose where you loose!

Yep, I have always had a big butt and thighs. Always loose boobs first, but right now liking the change my butt has made so far.

Like Elcee said, we are what we are, but being smaller all over is still better then being obese.

Upper body exercises will strengthen your pects which will support your chest

Spent sometime at a y and they have free trainers that will tell you what to do.

Or a local club or gym may have trainers you can pay to give you advise.

I had a big ol butt too. My measurements were 46 / 42 / 77. I was a big ol pear. Since most people lose weight from the top down I still had a big ol butt even after I lost the first 100 lbs. fast forward to today and I have no butt to speak of and I am still unevenly proportioned. My measurements are 34 / 28 / 37. I am still a pear but you can't have dinner on my butt shelf any more... It's gone!!!!

Too funny! I lost evenly across my body.... BUT... I had had previous Lipo on my butt. My hubby says it is gone now and he cannot recognize me from behind! Small pears are healthier than big pears! Think about which you really want to be!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
