I am 3 mos. Post op today and 58lbs down (this includes the 9lbs I lost on my 3 day liver shrinking diet).. I bought my first pair of Bermuda shorts in a 12, but they were still snug in the thighs.... Why does it seem like my thighs aren't getting smaller

Hw: 240

Sw: 232

Cw: 182

Gw: True size 10 or 160

Could just be skin. Could be the way your body distributes weight.

Sorry to say that excercise is the only solution. Walking will help. I did not lose much in my thighs either. My top got smaller than my bottom half of my body. It is starting to balance out now because of all the walking i do now.

I went to see my dr yesterday and he said its not enough to have removed and that they will continue to get smaller.

I walk no less than 30 mins 5 days a week. I just started working out at the gym too so hopefully that will help too

I've always had large hips, thighs, and calves. While I've gone from a size 22-6/8 those are still problem areas. I now have loads of extra skin that if wasn't there might make them smaller. I don;t plan to have surgery on those areas, so I have resigned myself to keeping them as tone as possible. I run a fair amount and laugh at all the bad race pictures of my extra (loose) skin looking like a sharpee (wrinkly dog). Me, I try to find the positive in it. At least they are no where near as big as they were previously!

I know your pain... I'm 5 weeks out and haven't dropped a size in jeans and shirts yet because of my thighs and arms.
