So, I have always been chubby but never really had a big belly. I have noticed that as the weight comes off the belly is not budging as quickly as other areas, giving me a "pooch" at the bottom of my belly. Has anyone else noticed their weight being distributed differently as they shed pounds?

My boobs and butt are gone and yes, I have a pooch for a belly now. You aren't alone.

my legs and butt are gone!!! I was standing doing dishes earlier and realized that no part of my legs or butt were touching my sweat pants--I tell everyone that I loose from the ground up

yep....very weird. i have always liked my legs because they are muscular, i have lost a lot off of my legs and now they are really skinny. my belly is still big, and so i look strange. really skinny on bottom and really big on top. on the possitive note though, i lost the extra w in my butt. you know which one, you normally have a W shape butt, however in us chubbys we have an extra little w in the middle. lol

i have lost that little w and am left with just one big W......i love that!

Mine is the exact opposite problem. I was pear shaped to begin with and now it seems as if the fat distribution has been taken over by gravity. I am losing it all up top and it is taking forever to get to my butt and legs. I am down to a 1x shirt but still fit into a 4x pants because of my butt and legs. The other problem is that everything jiggles. It's like the fat is not connected to my tissue anymore. Is that normal?

My arms and breasts and face have lost the most weight FOR SUREI have not lost any in the good old thuderthighs. I had my 3 month visit yesterday and I have lost almost 10 inches on my waist but only 4.5 on my hips. So I look cuter and curvier but I am still bottom heavy. I look way better with my clothes ON. :-) Working out with weights definately helps. I have been doing this for a month and my body is starting to look toned not like Jello, yay! Keep working out and eating right and thats all we can do!

Ducker... you are soooo not alone!

All my ife I have had the traditional pear shape... that is until I became morbidly obese... since losing weight, I am now a proper apple... and I have to say it is weird! The last of my weight is all around my middle - well, there is more but for my surgeon's goal, I think it is hanging around the ole tummy area - but at least I can now conceal it with nice clothes and clever underwear!!

YES! It's so weird! I lost in my legs this time around. I think it's because I'm older now (?). Not sure, but it's alllllll good :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
