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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
