Everything is shrinking on me fast...except my stomach!

Even my calves have lost 2" since my highest weight. My face has thinned out, wedding ring is falling off, my hot legs are coming back LOL

My pants are so baggy in the hips and legs but I can't go down in a size yet because of this thick middle..UGH

Anyone else have a stubborn tummy and did it finally deflate before your butt and boobs disappeared completely?? :)

I'm nowhere near done but my face and boobs went first, then legs and arms and now my tummy is starting to disappear slowly.  It was the largest or I guess it will be the last to go.  I'm in medium tops, large bottoms with baggy legs and butt, because of my tummy.  I've been adding some abdom. exercises but not for long enough to see if it helps any.

I seemed to lose first what I gained last......boobs, arms, legs, butt, belly......kinda stinks.....I now only fit right in skinny jeans.......lol......I have no butt and chicken legs.....and a belly to fill out the waist band......but I look DAMN HOT in those skinny jeans!  If I wear a regular cut jean the legs are to wide and baggy.....

I can't complain. I had a panni removal 7 years ago after my first WLS. Before this surgery my stomach was very big and bloated and as I've lost weight it has gone down nicely. The other funny thing is that I am not noticing as much loose skin. I still have about 20 lbs to go so it might yet show up but it's not as bad as I remember it being last time I lost weight. I still wouldn't go out in a bikini or anything but I can live with it, not that I have a choice.

MEMEMEMEME!!!!  OMG I have these tiny chicken legs & arms, with a GUT & BOOBS (with skin)!!!  but you know what??  My body has been like that my entire life. I can be at a normal weight & BMI, but have rolls on my tummy. I will need a tummy tuck if I ever want a flat stomach.
Pants have been a nightmare my entire life. Too big in legs & hips, but I need a bigger size for the mid section..... I feel your pain!

I know what you mean! I'd be happy if I didn't lose anymore weight except in my stomach! Especially when I sit down, there's a big ol blob of fat! I never expected my butt to deflate so much, it's lookin pretty pitiful!

Char,

One thing to keep in mind is that you are also still early out from surgery and may still have some swelling in that area. I had swelling in my belly area for about a month after gallbladder surgery, and I am betting that my belly is still a bit swollen from the RNY last month.

Now, my biggest complaint is that my small boob is shrinking faster than my bigger boob - I am even more lopsided!

I forgot about the swelling... I am still covered in bruises so hopefully when that subsides it will make a difference. I know the tummy will go eventually...I guess I am just disgusted with these baggy pants :)

I feel you on the boob issue....I had a reduction in 2006. At first they were perfectly symetrical and then over the last two years, the right one has pulled ahead LOL!

I only need to lose about 5 pounds and the only place on left on me is my belly below my belly button.  Everywhere else I am small, my legs and thighs are small, I have NO butt.  My boobs are deflated, I am boney across my chest.  I do crunches and abdominal exercises to help but my Dr. said it may not get rid of it.  Honestly no one but me can see it (except my DH).  I have always been larger in this area though.  I have lost  A LOT from this area but there is still some more there!
