My mother always said I had calves only a momma cow could love! They are large but muscular - really no juggle to them at all. My question is - will I lose weight in them? I dont want to end up with a small top and popeye legs! Anyone else out there that had same problem but lost the calves as they lost weight??

I have skinny legs (I mean skinny) and they are getting smaller but the definition and shape has remained intact.

You will lose inches. I encourage you to take your measurement now

I have always had large calves due to playing sports in high school. They were muscular and well shaped. I had RNY a year ago, down 141# and while my calves are a lot smaller, they are still large compared to some others at my current weight. But they still have muscle, so I don't mind. As my mom says, those little thumpers still need to get you from here to there... So I am ok with a slightly larger calf. But you most certainly will lose a good majority of them!

My calves were quite large, so much so I gave up on wearing long boots as I couldn't find any to fit me. Now that I have lost weight, my calf width (along with the rest of me), has decreased a lot, but my legs are by no means skinny.

      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! 😞
