Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I'm mostly a lurker here but had to post since I am currently experiencing a similar weight shift. I am very upset by it!!! I am beginning to feel like a failure and eating crud again.........candy, ice cream. white flour......... .. I was an apple before my surgery. After I had my tummy tuck in January, I had a waist again and was pleased. Now I am back to an apple. I have lost 20 pounds since my tuck in January (including 10 pounds of skin) but it isn't coming off evenly??????? I do work out a couple times a week and go up and down about five to six pounds. I can't seem to get a waist definition, even though I do some crunches. I am hoping it is caused by some swelling from the tuck and the tremendous heat here in northern California??????? Don't know why the body is changing shape to a thicker middle again????? Maybe genetics????? Anyway it's freaking me out enough so that I don't get on the scale for fear I've gained back weight......more than my five pound limit anyway. And I am back to my emotional eating......... So any old-timers out there with pearls of wisdom about body shape changing?????

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Bev, I had a panniculectomy done in April of last year and it literally took almost a year before the body shape changing thing settled down. SOmetimes it just takes a while.
