Pants problem

I'm in size 16 now but the butt is baggy. The rest of me isn't small enough to fit into a smaller size.

I'm hoping this is just temporary and the waist area will start to follow because I really don't want to have to be a baggy butt forever!

  • I just haven't been wearing pants. I stick to jersey skirts and dresses over leggings. I can't wait to get back into pants, but my legs haven't caught up to my waist.

Lol it will adjust I promise. I was the same way.

If the pants can't fit me the way I like... I'll try until I find a brand that flatters me to my liking. Visceral fat sheds faster than subcutaneous fat stores, so it'll even out eventually.

Good to know this won't last forever!

I just don't like skirts yet. I still feel like my calves are huge and pasty. But for some reason I feel ok in capris.

I've ALWAYS had a big butt...even when I was a fit ski instructor and ran cross country. I had to buy jeans to fit my butt and thighs and the waist was always too big and had to cinch it up with a belt. With this surgery I have lost weight in places I normal never have and I completely lost my butt. Now my pant waist fits pretty good and my butt is loose and saggy. Oh yeah, and the nice, voluptuous DD boobs I've had my whole life ( even before I was obese) are sad, limp, barely B cups. My overall body shape has totally changed, but I guess I'll take it :)

I have huge calves as well (I think they'll always be a bit disproportionally large), and so the pants that are in style now (so straight leg or skinny) simply don't fit me. By the time I find something that fits over my calves, the waist is like on clown pants. Hence I stick to leggings under skirts. I actually think it's more flattering that poorly fitting pants, but that's me.

I love Levi Leggings, so stretchy and give so much.
