bottom heavy weight loss

Hello so question I am very bottom heavy legs and butt very very big my face and waist and wrist and lower arms are all smaller looks like my bottom half dont belong with my top very frustrating cause I would have to buy such a big size 6x for them (knit pants ) to fit over legs then the waist was huge ughhhh anyways I am 5 weeks post op and notice weight loss only on my upper half anyone shaped like me is it harder to lose the weight on lower half ..... any suggestions I cant wait to fit in a chair and so many more things I have posted my highest weight almost 500 pounds and the day of surgery 7/16/13 I was 375 and now like 360
pounds i lost alot year before surgery thanks for any advice

I am pear shaped. Even when I was thin I was a size 4/6 on top and 8/10 on bottom. I have accepted the fact I will always have a booty. LOL!! I am 64 pounds down. I am still smaller on top, I am losing from the bottom half too.  I think we are all different I have seen people that keep the same type shape and others that shaped totally changed,

Wow!  Congratulations on your awesome WL even before surgery!  I don't have any specific advice, but I know someone who had skin removed from her legs because it was so intrusive even before she finished her WL journey.  She will probably have to do it again when she's at goal, but it made a huge difference to her mobility.  

Keep doing what you're doing!

Wow, you've really done exceptionally well losing so much before surgery! Congratulations!!! 

I'm just round all over, not pear shaped, but I'm noticing I definitely am losing from the top down. My shoulders are looking thinner ahead of my hips, belly, and thighs. 

 

 

I carry my weight on the bottom half, I wear a size 6/8 in tops but have to get usually a 16 pant, I have some that are 14's but they are just cut bigger, i absolutely hate my legs, I'm short so that just makes it worse. I'm trying to get insurance to pay for thighplasty, not sure it will happen but I'm working on it. 

Congratulations on all the weight you have lost, you're doing great!  :)
