*sigh* The good and bad of new clothing.

My tunics don't look like that......at least not on me......

Then you're doing it wrong!! Put one shoulder off of your shoulder, and voila! :lol:

I just google imaged, maybe I should have used a plus size model to get the point across!

Ang, they're not always fitted like that, you'd be surprised how much they hide. I wear 90% tunics, they hide the side rolls and pretend camel toes.

Let me quit eavesdropping and ask something totally not my bees-wax: What in the hell is a "pannis"? Sounds like the scottish inflection for the male organ?

Uh, I do know what a cameltoe is.....but isn't the cure for that to wear less tight pants?

plain---pannus is the medical term for the apron of skin and residual fat deposits that hangs where our big old bellies used to be. They are gross looking,and uncomfortable as hell---rashes, and skin tears under them are very common.

Never feel bad asking a question!!!

The pannus is the skin that hangs on the lower abdomen, pretty much from the belly-button down. Belly skin, basically. When you've got a large pannus as a result of drastic weight loss, wearing clothing that otherwise fits compresses it into a large "camel toe" shape. In many cases, if you buy clothing to fit the pannus, it's way too big otherwise, especially in the hips and waist. Hence, Shapewear to compress it and/or smooth it so that better-fitting clothing can be worn.

Edited to add: The "camel toe" that we're talking about isn't really the type that Ice-T's wife Coco is famous for, where it looks like her pants are 3 sizes too small and riding up her hoo-ha. Our "camel toes" come from having a pannus that is much larger than our waist and hips, making even pants that truly do fit look awkward.

Yeah, I wanted to re-itterate it's NOT an actual camel toe, it LOOKS like a massive one.. but like Lauren said if you get pants that 'fit' and get rid of said camel toe, in my case, they would fall right off of me.

laurend, I am already having some problems with my bulging belly. I find that when I want to wear a more fitting shirt, the Spanx underpants work really great. They are not too uncomfortable either. I bought mine from the infamous LB, but I don't know if they come in your small size there.

There also is another brand that works wonders too. I have attached the link to it (Slim N'Lift). Good luck!

I plan on it, along with a breast lift. I'm aiming for mid-August, but I'm starting to freak out about finances (In addition to teaching my classes, I just started another part time job last week and I've got an interview for a 3rd one on Saturday).

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
