Body so uneven

Has anyone else experienced uneven lose? I was told yesterday by my younger sister that from my shoulders up I look anorexic... But my bottom, like thighs etc are still so plus sized. Just sounds so funny to me, in top pictures (shoulders up) I look too skinny, yet I'm still considered obese... Makes me wonder what my upper body will become when I am finally a normal BMI. I lost a lot of weight back in 2002-2003 i lost 250 lbs with diet and exercise on my own, yet I slimmed down differently that time, this time i don't know why but it looks really like I'm melting literally lol my skin... reminds me of how a Shar Pei looks...I had loose skin before, but it was not too bad, this time around I think its going to be a  lot worse..   :(  sucks but this is my third time around losing a lot of weight, i guess it is true your skin can only bounced back so much.

I am going to have the same problem. Usually the butt, thighs and belly go last...you lose quicker up top. That and gravity is prolly taking over and a lot of the bottom is skin?

My losses went in spurts. First I would lose from the waist up, then I would lose from the waist down. Then, waist up again. I would lose a size in my shirts, but not my pants.



I think one of the reasons your skin is flabbier is because of the speed at which you lose it after the DS. The elasticity in your skin needs a little time to catch up. At a year and a half out (and slower weight loss), I can say my skin is bouncing back. I have a little extra skin under my chin, but so does my 120 pound 5 foot 2 inches non-WLS younger sister.

I took measurements from my neck to my ankles and kept them in a spreadsheet.  I measured weekly.  It really helps you to see how and where you are losing.

I am losing everywhere fairly uniformly - EXCEPT in my stomach.  Not just the "hangy down" lower part, but my abdomen.  I have a big belly and can't seem to lose there.  I have a hard time getting into smaller pants because of the waistline, but they fit fine in the butt and hips.

My muffin top only went away with Lipo and my LBL.

Well...boobs gone.  Not "gone", just down from about a D to I'm lucky if I can fill up a C.  NOT HAPPY about that.  I also have a collar bone I wasn't aware existed.  I have lost alot in my hips, which is the first thing my sister noticed on my trip home at Christmas.  ("I don't want to offend you but your butt looks so small compared to what it was!"...yeah, I'll try to not be offended by THAT  *eyeroll*) Still have back fat.  Blah.  But I have a ways to go yet.  I'm curious to see how I'll end up, especially when the massive hernia is gone!
