Squish, Move and Organize just to get pants on - ThinnerTimes

So I have been losing weight like I am supposed to, and I know I am getting smaller since I have been going down in sizes. Well here is the thing... even though I am able to get the pants on and zip them up, I still feel like I am squeezing into them. I have to move and sometimes kinda roll my stomach into them before I can zip them. It has been months since I was able to just slide on a pair of pants and just zip them up.

It is a combination of some lose skin and still some stomach fat. It fits into the pants fine and I look great when I have them on, but I always end up feeling like I am trying to be smaller than I am because I have to "work" to get everything in place to zip the pants up.

Has anyone else felt this way, does it get better? Or is this just how it is unless I get PS at the end of it all.

I'm having the exact same problem! I have to squish and rearrange everything just to get a pair of pants on, and if it wasn't for my stomach I could wear a size smaller! The size that fits my tummy is baggy in my thighs and butt. It's very frustrating!

My understanding is that as we lose, some of that will work itself out but that some of that problem won't go away until we have PS. Bummer, I know, but I'd rather deal with that than what I was dealing with before surgery! Good luck to ya!

Well good to know I am not the only one. It is also very good to know that in time it could work itself out a little. Thanks for the response.

You aren't the only one, Rachel. I can zip up pants easily BUT they are in a size larger than I'm really in. I can zip up a smaller size and they look pretty good but when I sit the carefully placed loose panni has a mind of it's own and finds it's way out over the top of the pants.

I am SO ready for my tummy tuck!! It can't come soon enough for me, thats for sure.

I have the same problem.. I always wear a Barely There tank top (Got is at Target, if you were interested) under all of my clothes. It does a nice job of keeping everything in place. They are long enough to tuck into the pants and keep things where they should be. No muffin tops for me

My boobies I have to roll,fold and place inside my bras

Sometimes when I bend over they slip out and we all can get the visual on that...yuck.

Different spot same problem,

My pannus is very large and when I finally get it in my pants and sit down it flows into my legs.Now that looks pretty gross.Barb

I don't have the panni problem any more since my surgery a few years ago but it's the bra thing for me too. I find I'm very uncomfortable by the end of the day.

Thanks, Dawn!

Van, I know where you're coming from with the boobies! I started at a 56DDD and now I'm a 44DDD. If it weren't for all the dang skin I could probably wear a D or a DD! I am always worried about falling out if I have to bend over and finding a bra that fits is near next to impossible. Right now, I just kinda jiggle all over. I feel like the old Jello commercials, watch it wiggle, see it jiggle. I'd still rather have the jiggle than the 153 additional pounds, though. I'll just keep squishing, moving, and organizing until I get to goal and have my baby. By then, hopefully I'll be super rich and can actually afford PS since I'll be lucky to get my insurance to pay for the panni, much less anything else!
