Mine too is gone. Pretty ironic since the booty is so in these days!

I used to have such a cute, round, perky butt :( after I got fat, I avoided looking in the mirror or having pictures taken at all costs. I'm sure it was hideous, but I guess I was expecting to have my old butt back after I lost weight. Apparently,.I'm gonna have to give it some help cause at this point, I ain't got enough back to hold my pants OR panties up

Fyi... last winter I was injured by a personal trainer who was trying to rebuild my ass. Turns out...plenty of guys are fine with a skinny ass girl!

Squats -- breathing squats -- squats with heavy weights ...

Word of caution: Squats can ruin your knees. I speak from considerable experience. With some of the world's best bodybuilding coaches. Still ruined.

I appreciate the warnings! Cowgirl - was your injury knee-related too?

I now call mine a back with a crack!!!!

OMG! So funny! I was shocked to see my booty disappearing. Really? I have 30 plus pounds to go. What in the world will I have left? And while I'm willing to fix my girls and my tummy, if I can afford it, my butt.......

Thank you all so much for the laugh today. Some of your responses were just hilarious! I don't have much of a bum right now, but to lose what I have could be quite disturbing.

post op a few months later +

even a year

your skin can/DOES tighten up a bit (like the song) :lol:

many people wait on having plastic surgery

they wait til the skin is tighter

being younger is one factor of your skin tightening

but for many, it definitely does firm up a bit :)

i am an a YOUNG fart of 60 :lol:

for me - i realized my tushy was gone (happened over time - just didn't notice :( )

in the same way, i realized my rear end was a little firmer :)

plenty of loose skin - but a little firmer

this can also happen other body areas

don't throw in the towel yet

many people wait awhile before having plastic surgery

since your skin might firm up

its better for mother nature to do its thing

in the long end - its worth the wait

warning warning

attempted analogy below

we built a house last year

big, long stone driveway

i would love to have it paved it immediately

we live in snow - harder to snow blow

but we are waiting a year til the house "settles"

then we will pave the driveway

thats the way you are supposed to to do "it"

its hard to wait, but its much better to do

just like plastic surgery, its worth the wait

"God Grant Me Patience,Just Hurry About It"

i am starting a movement to outlaw any loose skin

who is with me? ;)

after all is said and done

i would rather have some loose skin "hanging" around than all that blubber :D

good luck :)

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
