What body type do you have after your weight loss?



Recommended Posts

After being an apple shape for a long time. I was surprised to find out I am a inverted triangle body type.

I'm a rectangle. LOL It's hard to find pants because everything is cut for women with hips and I ain't got 'em.

Though I haven't lost a chunk of my weight (let's be honest, at this point I have only lost pieces) I am starting to see a shape take place. It appears as if I wasn't always meant to be "round" and will most likely take on a more of a hour glass/inverted triangle shape.

I'm noticing that there isn't an equivalent site for guys*. No wonder you women have so many body image issues. Not judging, just noticing.

* Not completely fair, guys who read men's health magazine seem to desire bigger arms and shoulders than women like...those dummies should do market research into what women want, not what magazines try to sell them (hint, hint ladies, quit listening to the media and figure out what guys like...oh wait many times you are listening to other women ;-))

Inverted triangle for sure. I've always had wide shoulders and big boobs, lol.

Triangle. Would love to perk up the top but still healing from removing the excess skin from the lower and/hip area. Still have a skinny waist but big hips and thighs.

Hourglass. Even when I was fatter. I've always been smaller in the middle than anywhere else.

Inverted triangle before, (but with a gut) and inverted triangle now, (but without the gut!). I was always lucky to carry the weight "all over". Once my bod settled down after entering maintenance, things turned out very proportional, still a size bigger on top than on bottom tho :-)

I'm wearing low rise jeans. I just don't have the curvy hips to fill out other jeans.

Love your perspective. The media kills me selling us their version of attractive. That also includes the guy's. :P

My shape has morphed from a triangle to a life saver with a pencil stuck through it. I am eligible to have a panniculectomy done after my two year mark on December 23rd. Then I will be a fabulous hourglass.

Hourglass. Even fat I had a smaller waist and bigger hips and top... I seem to gain and lose proportionally.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
