It's an amazing feeling to be in the best shape of your life. I never thought I would have this fitness level in my 40's. I'm so thankful for my sleeve.

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

Yeah, low rise is my choice, too. If they're anything else, they look like jodhpurs. LOL

Well, I am the inverted triangle though I much prefer the athletic spin. I too wear the low rise, with a belt. All pants have a way of shimmying down. My gfriend told me once she was gonna LAUGH if my pants fell off in public. I have an 8-9 " difference from waist to hips bit my waist is WAY up there so it doesn't help with jeans fitting.

I'm not sure. I think I'm a rectangle? Maybe an hourglass? I don't think my waist is that curvy but maybe that's because I have narrow hips. I have a little girls body now.

If the question was "What body type did you have BEFORE your weight loss?", I would have said,"that of an athlete", And by that, I meant that of a Sumo wrestler. :)

Before wls I looks like I was nine months pregnant with a very thick legs still somewhat narrow hips but a huge huge overhanging belly. Like a pregnant apple.

I used to be my father's lil half-back then I was a full-back. I was always the biggest kid in the family. For twenty years, as a firefighter, I always had broad shoulders, big arms, thick legs and calves. They served me well doing the hard stuff. I could never buy a regular blazer or button down shirt, jeans were torture and forget boots. I learned to sew because I couldn't find things that fit me well. Now it's my belly that's still giving me trouble when shopping. But I will take it versus the sixty pounds!

So what shape do you see?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
