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?

My wife took a pic of me yesterday. I had on a shirt that I could not wear for many years. It was tucked in and I had on a pair of jeans that were too big for me. I was a 50 before surgery and I wear a 40 now and the pants were 42's. So my belly looks even worse. I think I need to leave the shirt tail out for awhile until I hope the jiggly belly subsides.

You'll get there I'm sure. My husband is now able to tuck his shirt in first thing in the morning--and it stays that way all day. He can't stop marveling at that.

Jiggly barely describes it. I have lost 70 pounds, am down several sizes. I can't really see the difference and feel fatter than before the surgery. My jello-ness and excess skin is daunting. This surgery is the best thing I have ever done and I regret not doing it sooner, but I wonder how long it will take to feel freer of the fat. I still am 30 or so pounds from goal .

That was a huge one for me too. I don't know if women get this....but I never felt good about tucking in my shirt. I thought I looked awful....plus of course when I sat down everything expanded and the shirt would pull out. Now I wanna tuck in my shirt everyday. Whether I should or not.

I am at the stage that theres little flaps under my arms like wings, so not cool, I am going to up my weights and try for a remedy that way, otherwise I could have liftoff!!!!
