Question:

I WAS A SIZE 8 AND WIEGHED 130 YEARS AGO, NOW IM 240 1 MONTH POST OP.DO YOU CHANGE THE WIEGHT DISTUBUTION WHEN YOU GET TO GOAL WIEGHT? LIKE IVE ALWAYS HAD A LARGE WAIST AND WAS WONDERING IF YOUR ORIGINAL LOOKS COME BACK OR DO YOU CHANGE BECAUSE OF SUCH RAPID WIEGHT LOSS. I HEAR ALOT OF SIZE 4 AND 5 I THINK I WOULD BE TO SKINNY AT THAT . I KNOW EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT BODY FRAMES. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM SOME LONG TERMS WHO LOST. THANKS    — ANGIE M.

I've only been 130 once in my life and that was when I was 18. I'm now 20 pounds from my 130 goal and my body shape is different. I ALWAYS had a big butt. Since I've had surgery, my butt is MUCH smaller then ever before. So I think the distribution does change.

I was an apple, very thick in the waist. No matter what size, I was always too thick in the middle. Before my TT, I could wear size 4, but only with elastic waist. My hips were 33, but my waist was 31 ! I look much more proportional now, after my TT.

I'm 20 lbs from my goal and very differently shaped than I ever was before. I still have very large breasts. Usually I go down to a 38c at goal weight. This time I have lost many inches around, but am still a dd cup size. I'm not thrilled about it. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem and if they have any suggestions?

It seems every time I've lost weight, including now, I've lost it in my face and breasts. I've always had large breasts and I hate to say it, I miss them. I told my husband I'm getting a push-up bra! I've lost considerable size in my waist. I've got a small bone frame and I can really tell it since I've lost so much weight.

I think it does change in some ways. I think I am thinner than I was when I was this weight before. I have read that our bones become heavier from carrying around so much extra weight all those years so we LOOK like we weigh less than we really do. I believe it. I lost more in the boob area this time than I ever had before, but then again, I don't remember clearly when I was last this small. I was always bigger on top than on bottom & still am, but I was an apple before & now I am more of a triangle, biggest on top, smallest in the hips & legs, waist in the middle. :) Yes, the TT DID help pare the waist down a bit.
