So Shaving Your Legs And Being Obese



Recommended Posts

Am I the only one who thinks us larger girls have a harder time that skinny girls shaving. I mean we have more leg so we have more hair on that more leg It's just annoying. I hate having to shave my legs every 4 days in the summer :angry: .Do you ladies choose other options like waxing, weird cream stuff ect?Or do you just go au natural?

Ha, I've actually found I have to shave more often and it takes longer since I've lost weight! But I'm not complaining. I think the changes in my hormones regulating has made my hair grow faster, and now I've got all the bumps to maneuver around again -- knee caps, ankles, etc. Another great NSV!

Aughhhh, I hate shaving my legs lol. Yes I think it is monumentally harder to shave while heavy. And now that I've had this surgery it hurts to bend over to shave so I'm wearing pants for the next few days until I've recovered enough to comfortably shave.

Interesting. I did find it hard, just due to needing to move and bend and not having a lot of room in the shower! However now it takes a long time to shave but I am doing it with more care

Funnily enough, I have been taking more care with my body and my self care since the surgery. I shave, pluck, moisturise, oil, exfoliate and generally take better care all over. Interesting, I hadn't clocked the difference but there is a difference.

Me being 230 it's not hard but def can get uncomfortable. If I really don't want to do it. My boyfriend does it for me. And he does EVERYTHING. Lol o.O everything is so much easier to do when your not heavy. :/

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
