How's it hangin? (skin discussion)

This skin is disgusting. I HATE looking at myself in the mirror. And I still have over 100 lbs to go! One side of my pannus hangs lower than the other. One side of my butt is bigger than the other. My batwings are horrible. My thighs are flabby and huge. When I run or do jumping jacks, things jiggle that I never before knew were capable of jiggling that much. Things like to clap at inappropriate times. I'm probably wearing a 16 or 18 top, but have to buy 22/24 because it won't fit the bottom. I'm wearing a 26 in pants. My bottom half is losing much much slower than my top half. I notice ppl staring at it and some who know I've had surgery have even said, "Losing it all up top, huh?"

You mean it is not only me looking like a animal. I have Bat wings, Frog legs with saggy thighs, and a tummy like a jelly fish. I did find a lotion that has helped my bat wings it is called AVENO daily firming moisture lotion. it has worked so will that i probably wont need plastics on my bat wings as for my tummy and thighs yuck very ugly. I cant wait to donate my skin bit I have to wait 7 months. So for now I try to hide it with my clothes. I am glad the winter months are coming easier to hide under layers.

I totally understand!!! Mt stomach hangs unevenly as well- I thought it was from the triplets- but maybe that's just the way it is!!!! I tried to push my boobs into a bra to have some cleavage and all I got was wrinkles- GROSS!!!! So you lose it all up top first (which is very rude to say I might add)- it will all come off eventually- you keep losing- it's gotta come from somewhere!!! It'll shift!!! Holly

OMG... I know just how you feel. My belly hangs lopsided too and its driving me crazy. It sways when i walk. I look kinda like a thin person with melted skin all over them. I got about 100 more lbs to lose too and Im really starting to worry cause if its this bad now its gonna be real bad then!! It sucks because I feel like even if I make it to 130lbs (my goal) Im still gonna be disgusting. I probably have 50 lbs or more of just skin. If I could just cut it all off Id lose most of those extra 100lbs!!!!! Mary

I hear ya. I hate the way my jeans fit in my stomach area. It's embarassing!

Tara, you sound just like me. We even wear the same sizes. Check out my horrible pictures on my profile. (Beware, they're not pretty!)

First off, I am so relieved that it's not just me who has a lopsided pannus. I seriously thought I was alone on that one. Secondly, has anybody tried out any body shapers yet? If so, what kind and did it do any good? Cathryn, it is so awesome that you are able to post those pics. I can barely stand looking at myself in the mirror, I could never post pics.
