Pear shaped vs Apple shaped?



Recommended Posts

I'm a pear at my thinnest and also at my heaviest. I don't think your basic shape changes.You lose weight all over, but your proportions stay about the same. My waist is currrently about 10 inches smaller than my bust, and 15 inches smaller than my hips. I've lost about 24 inches from all over my body, and I'm pretty much the same ratio as I was at the start, with the only difference being my abdomen is thinner/flatter. I was never big busted, and those puppies are deflating!! Still, it's better than the alternative ;)

I nursed all 3 of my kids for a year minimum and my boobs seemed to get larger :/ I'm a 36K right now but that's the new sizing system. I think a K is a DDDDD in the old system. The only thing going down has been the band size. I can totally relate to not getting a reduction lol. If I could stay a DD or DDD after a breast lift' date=' I would be so happy. I don't want implants though because I think you have to get them changed every 10 yrs or something like that. I haven't had any back problems thankfully.[/quote']

I nursed 3 too and they were huge during and then after they went back to a 36F bc I was still fat now not so much like I said 36ddd but not very dense tissue. My back hurt like crazy before though with the weight and the boobs.

I have had lap band in which I lost 200lbs in 14 months and then 7 yrs after I had my lap band it slipped and I had it removed and I was 7 weeks pregnant so they wouldn't revise so I gained 100lbs but I am now down 55lbs down after my revision. The first pic is me at 150-155 after my first weight loss the 2 nd is me 45lbs down after this weight loss. I am pear shaped also(yuck) but as you will see at 150 I look great. I am 5'8.

Wow your pictures are probably the most amazing before and after! Awesome!!! You look so young! Did you have alot of plastic surgery?

All I can say is wow!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
