Hi all

I was wondering if anyone has this same thing? I've looked all over the internet and can't find anything not one thing not even images of other people. My inner thighs have fat hanging the best way I could describe it is if you take a pair of panty hose and fill it with sand maybe 2 pounds. Where it's connected to my body is skin i feel very little fat but at the bottom it's like that's where it all went. I asked my Dr and he said that's what it is a pocket of fat. Has anyone had experience with this? Any suggestion of exercise that would help reduce this? I prefer a home workout because I can't really afford a gym membership and no I don't have cable or any real frivolous things, except internet.

Please help I'm ok with flabby arms and hanging fat from my stomach. These things are ugly and I can't even wear shorts comfortably without fear that they will hang out, which they do if I sit wrong.

Thank you in advance.

Massages to break the fat pocket up, deep tissue ones, they are going to hurt you might bruise. Then walking or running. The only thing you can do is lose more weight, but massages to break it up will help a lot.

I have the same thing. I have both lymphedema and lipoedema in my legs. I am currently undergoing treatment for the lymphedema with a physical therapist. I am not sure there is a treatment for the lipoedema other than fat loss and eventual skin removal surgery. Believe it or not, my inner thighs were the first place I noticed weight loss.

You really can't spot reduce fat. You can tone and firm muscle.

My exercise of choice is swimming. It is a great all over exercise, easy on the joints, and feels great. I also happen to be blessed with a pool at home.

Maybe hard pressing , rolling and wrapping the fat pockets. Then us those body wraps I see on the Internet . Just a thought.

Thanks Teena

Not sure what all that means but I'll look it up. hahaha thank you.

Really massages? interesting. Thank you very much it's funny you say that because I just purchased another Tens unit today due to my old one of several years broke. Maybe I'll try that since there is a deep tissue setting.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
