When I was thin before, I had a huge butt, tiny waist and top half was tiny. Yes, my butt could hold a beer bottle. I still have 60 to lose and I have lost my butt. My husband used to say my butt was like two fine Christmas Hams...and he is equating my butt to a sliver of bacon now.

I may have lost all the fat in my butt, but I am sure with proper work-outs, lunges, steps etc. I will start working on muscle tone in my hiney and I will end up with that perfect C - made of muscle and not just a big fat butt.

There are also things you can buy to enhance your butt. Bethenny Frankel has a product you can wear under your pants to give you a perky butt :)

Mine was flat as a pancake around a year out, but sometime after goal weight shifted and I got some curve back. Not nearly as much as before but enough that I felt like I had curves again.

Exercise is the way to go to boost it up. Not everyone gets stick skinny even at goal. I'm a healthy size six and I think I have a curvy figure despite losing more than 100 pounds. If you don't want to get skinny like that, it's really easy to stop and start eating more calories once you reach point where you're very happy with your figure.

And I won't lie. I would rather be "normal" and have less curves than be obese like I was before surgery! But that's just me. :)

I hope I don't loose all of my butt- though some can go lol. I've always been small chested (C cup now- B cup even at my smallest weight which was around 270 so I'm fully expected to be an A cup after surgery) but my butt- ive always liked having a big butt so I'm hoping that I still have some booty- but is gladly loose the 'shelf' of backfat over my actual butt that probably makes my actual butt seem larger the. It is lol. But dang I'd had to be flat chested with NO butt too!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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.
