HUGE BELLY HANGING DOWN

Hi,

I have been exercizing regularly, am feeling stronger and more confident. However, I have this huge belly that hangs down, I have to wear tunics in order to conceal it. I wear full briefs but it won't cover that area that comes out through the sides. Panty girdles don't help as the weight of the belly pulls it down so that it won't do much good. Does anyone have any suggestions about the best type of underwear for this? I was thinking maybe the boyshorts style, I haven't tried those. I still have a lot more weight to lose so I can't consider plastic surgery for now, probably not ever as I have limited funds.

I would welcome any suggestions from people who have this same problem. I live alone, no one sees what I look like without clothes on, but I'm terrified of being seen this way by accident, in a fitting room or beach. :blink:

I will have some amount of belly apron, but I simply cannot stand the compression wear. I find it smoothering and confining. I may just have to live with whatever I get because I'm also scared of the surgery. It looks barbaric. I have to make sure I wear pants that fit. If they are a little loose, I get that pouch thing.

I have a ways to go and I can stand a little pouch. Maybe I will get lucky. I has gone down quite a bit. I also have the bat flaps. Wouldn't the scars show on the upper arms?

Nobody is touching my saggy boobs! Ouch. Now I can mold them into any shape i want.

Cattracks! I just had a mental image of the guy who makes balloon animals! You just described how I feel about my boobs right now! :)

Seriously, mine are so flexible I could press them into those fancy little cake molds they sell at William Sonoma. They literally feel like Water balloons.
