My butt is changing shape



Recommended Posts

I am tired of my old underwear. It fit fine before. I like low rise briefs, from lane bryant. The "hipster" I think they are called.

Well, now my butt has changed shape somehow, because they are super low on my butt cheeks. Like I feel the underwear on the top of my thigh! They used to sit at my hip and around my butt like normal underwear should.

I am not eager to buy new underwear as they are not big in the waist at all.

Does anyone else have underwear issues? I already bought new bras last month as well! My underwire was sitting on my ribs instead of under the boobs! Yikes!

My butt is disappearing - and as that was NEVER a big area for me, it is somewhat annoying. I mean really, I'm almost a butt-less wonder...in pants, I have 'droopy drawers'.

Sadly, those of us with junkless trunks will have to consider buying undies with the padded butts (I saw some in Frederick's of Hollywood) or when we get our PS, we can ask them to take the fat from the Lipo and stick it on the trunk. I'm giving it some serious thought. Something to keep me motivated during this slow, trickling weight loss.

Mine is changing shape too, but for the better! It used to be a bubbly blob sticking out in back and would bounce around when I walked. Now it's firm, shapely and a little flatter than I would like, but I'm happy. I bought my first pair of jeans without any elastic in the waistband last week. I was so excited!!! I wore them with a black sweater and a pair of HEELS!! Can you imagine??? My DH came by my work to pick up the checkbook and I met him in the parking lot. It's a busy place. When I walked away, he shouted out the car window across the lot......."NICE ASS!" I was so happy I wanted to cry. I never thought I would hear that again in my lifetime. I thought those days were long past.......

I figure after 2 babies and weight loss of 80+ lbs, I'm going to need PS so I'm not getting too worked up about where the weight is coming off. Once it's all done, I foresee at TT and Boob lift/implant in my future. Kinda like the 6 million dollar woman--rebuilt stronger and better....

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.

      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
