I was always heavier on the bottom but I have now evened out. My legs and butt are alot smaller and I am in proportion with the loss.

I am small on the lower half now before surgery. Where, how, and when should/ would I begin to research the butt topic? I have never had a back end and when I loose this weight its going bye bye. This is sometime I have always wanted all of my life. I would appreciate some help if you know of some procedures that could help me.

I saw on Youtube; a woman with butt implants that wasn't done right and could she flip them around it horrified me so bad. I just thought that I would be "Butt-less in Minnesota". I rather have no butt than to risk that. LOL, LOL LOL.

I am pre-op but this is my experience when I lost weight previously after having my daughter. I have always been bottom heavy. At 5 1.5 inches and 120lbs, I was called "fat" because any extra weight I carried was in my butt. I had scrawny shoulders, no bust, no belly. When I delivered my daughter, I was about 185. Losing the baby weight was a struggle, took about 18 months. I never lost it all but got down to 130. What I did do was a lot of upper body Nautilis as well as leg work. I still had strong legs and a big butt but by building up my shoulders and chest muscles, I was more proportioned. I was wearing an 8 then. I'd love to get to about 120 post op but I'll be thrilled if I hit 130 again; I have lost a half an inch due to herniated discs.

Building up your lower half isn't hard. Do lunges, leg presses. Any exercise that is designed to "tone" a butt and thighs will also build muscle there as well.

I got junk in the trunk as well. Lol. I'm shaped like Chaka khan. We are about the same height. Always been hour glass shaped even @ 299 lbs. I just embrace it!

I'm preop and I'm praying that I don't lose my butt. I don't want to look disproportionate (which I think you are referring to) but I would like to have the coke bottle shape. If my belly goes it will be awesome but then again its look like a bag of laundry or be thinner and healthier.

They say women gain from the bottom up and lose from the top down! Lol

From my previous weight loss experience to build my buttock I would do squats, lunges, & walk the treadmill at a 10% incline. I was dating my husband at the time. So, I'd say it worked! ;-)

I'm curious as to how I shall look when I get smaller. I am currently preop but I have very little tummy (I'm 275) so I am def bottom heavy. I am going to do lots of squats to maintain the booty.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
