Wha? I didn't know that LBL's reduce the size of butts. Now I have to rethink my PS wish list....


Honestly my side profile already looks a lot like that pancake butt version.
Even when I was 272, I had a pancake butt.
Now the only difference is wrinkles start at my sacrum and end in my upper thighs.

I had to google "sacrum".

But yeah, me too 😢

The Kid gave me a pair of jeans that she doesn't wear anymore and it is now my favourite pair of jeans. It is marketed as having some stretch in the back that "lifts" the butt, and it sorta works (at least I like to believe it does)! I can't find it on their website anymore, but I've seen other brands with the same concept. I'll try to post a pic of me wearing it later...

I haven’t posted in a bit - I was traveling and now sick. Bad photo, but this dress needed worn before it’s too big. I’ve now gone through all of my “to shrink into” clothes and am in new territory.

Ignore the the litter box, cats are gross.

Update: I am sick and ended up changing into jammies and going back to bed. What I’m currently wearing:

My goodness you’re disappearing right before our eyes.
It’s funny how FAST you go through clothes— I actually had some out-of-season things that I never got the opportunity to wear.
Sorry you’re feeling under the weather. I have 2 cats and we joke that the older female is our nurse cat.
She knows when you’re not feeling well and will snuggle right in (in of course the most annoying way possible)

My surgeon seems to have flatter a$$'s post op then average. My theory is that he gets VERY taunt results for the most part. Many surgeon include fat transfer/BBL as part of their LBL. My surgeon doesn't believe in them for a variety of reasons. So it is all a trade off. (But I doubt you have enough body fat to perform a fat transfer in any case)

It has made me rethink my ps wish list ... I've added butt implants to it 😂

It’s so strange! I’m in some medium shirts now. It’s messing with my head even being in large pants instead of plus sizes. I am definitely enjoying being able to shop at any store, though. It’s a first for me!

Ok, I know, I know, totally HUGE clothes. But no tengo deneiro (sp?) for new right now. Today was surgery day and I wanted super comfy and warm cuz the hospitals are always freezing.

This is my official GOAL #3 day! I revised my goal #3 weight to be my original 130lbs. Cuz guess what? I DID it! I FINALLY made a for reals major end goal!!!! I can honestly say and give myself permission to be super proud of not only my progress and journey, but of seeing a weight loss goal through to desitination. It feels like...victory. Or napalm. Not quite sure. It's like, once I relaxed INTO the reality that I was in maintenance and wasn't trying to lose anymore, my body said, "Psych, bi*ch! JK. We're still gonna get ya to the original destination!"

So I honestly don't see a lot of diff in this 130lb Goal #3 pic and the few previous ones. I am sure y'all will say its due to outfit selection and being too big. :D ;)

Lookin' good! Your top is a little loose, but it's hanging well. Your pants however, are too big.

Your skinniness is making you look taller!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
