Did you lose your curves??



Recommended Posts

I'm glad that you ladies addressed this! My BF is sooo worried I won't have my hips/thighs/butt anymore, after surgery, LOL I just want it all to decrease a whole lot! I'm so looking forward to being healthy that I really don't care about my curves (as much as my BF does). I'll let him know that I should be just fine :D

o wow that sounds pretty good too thank you!! thank you ladies all for your responses!! :)..how much weight did u lose ur first two weeks lilmissdiva?

Towrd the end of my liquids, I think within a day or so I decided to buy me some egg drop chinese Soup. I pureed it as much as I could and it seemed to work out okay. Try that first, because really its still a liquid - just not too thick. I have to tell you, that was the best tasting Soup ever!!!

This topic was right on point and I.am grateful for the response thanks Diva....I have nothing up top even with the weight. If it was not for my weight I would be in a training bra lol. But I've always had even in my thinner days my badonka-dunk and I have grown to appreciate it.....However @ current weight its a Mack truck and not all so hot, but I'm glad to know that I will keep my curves. I will be sleeved in a few weeks :)

i'm curvy as all get out at 4 weeks out but what is with the saggy inner thighs!!!!!! BARF!!! Any ideas on how to tone that particular area. I'm walking my butt off literally but that saggy drooping inner thigh is beyond gross. Does anyone think compression garments help....Like I hate Spanx but if it will stuff stay where it belongs then i'm game to try it. I'm 4'11 and down to 241 form 268.

I HAD THE SAME QUESTION.

Black women are built and framed different than other women. And I don't want to lose my assets through out this weight lost journey. On you tube and basic websites there are not alot of pixs to see.

Chellewill you should consult a trainer for some tips regarding your thighs. I have always had more than my share of thighs and behind, squats and the elliptical help keep them toned.

Well ladies, a year later, I'm happy to say that my curves are still here! I went from a 42G bra to a 34DD (sooooo hard to find bras in that size). I lost some of my butt, but not enough to be worried about. Basically, my body is the same shape, just a smaller, more toned size.

Thank you all for your advice and comments.

I went from a 40G bra to a 34 DD. You are right about finding that size. Almost as hard as it is to find a 40G.

The worst part of that, for me, is the deflated tata look. They are looking like a balloon that was blown up and deflated several times. Not cute. :(

Any suggestions?

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
