Im at the jiggly belly stage. You?



Recommended Posts

DO try not to get turned on as I share this..but you know how when we're really fat, we're like..solid? Like big thighs, big calves, but they're all solid. You just look like a big strong girl/boy, right?

Well now that I'm losing fat, I'm at the jiggly stage. My stomach is a special disaster area. It's like....loose. And jiggly, and squishy and kinda...floppy. Like I said, try not to get turned on!

Ewwww! I mean I'm glad I'm losing weight don't get me wrong, but it wasn't prepared for this. I could almost tell myself I look smaller, but worse. I rush to say I'm not saying I look worse, I'm just saying...wasn't expecting this. Take note, you pre-oppers. If you're like me, you may not love your new body at every stage.

For the vets, I'm guessing we go through a few times of firm up and jiggly, before it's all over right? Or is it jigglyville from here on out?

Even Light compression /shapewear makes such a difference in reducing the jiggles.

After about 6 months at goal, i felt that my skin was significantly reduced. I STILL needed plastics because it was bad, but, I think Shapewear and time definately help... a little.

So, I was not one to wear super tight girdles or Spanx but more like light hold. Jeans also can serve this purpose. Once I got rid of the extra fat and was just down to skin, it could sorta be smooshed in a way to make it look like I had hips...haha!

The final stage of weird extra skin before I had plastics is when I lost the last 8 or pounds during Sept and Oct. My belly button disappeared. Laying in bed, I looked down at a flat stomach that had so many wrinkles, it was surreal. I tried getting pics but they never really captured the effect adquately.

I dont wear a binder just Camis with tummy control inserts and leggings under my skinnys so that any dimple or ripple will be avoided. Again just because I'm modest lol

Well........the jiggles decrease some, but the wrinkles get worse. Talk about a SHOCK!! There is nothing I can think of to adequately describe it. Maybe a balloon that was blown up really big and then the air leaked out. You know, that stretched rubber look. Yeah, I'm sure that's a turn on, lol!!

LOL....best case of wishful thinking I've seen all day.

Sorry. They say clothes make the man. They sure make the man look half way decent after weight loss. Without them...it takes a good surgeon.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
