Hey ladies,
A bit harsh sounding on myself on the subject but my goodness it’s getting me down. I’ve lost 7 stone in the last 2 years and my latest skin removal surgery was a thigh lift with lipo. LIFE CHANGING. I could finally wear clothes above my knees. I mean no exaggeration when I say life changing.
We fell pregnant with a surprise baby and are expecting baby number 3 in October.
So having lost all this weight I had visions of continuing to look the same just with a bump!
HOW WRONG WAS I??
My legs especially just above my knees have ballooned and gone really wobbly and cellulitey. My hips have hips and I have saddle bags. Now my diet is fine - I had a gastric sleeve and my diet and portions haven’t changed. I asked my midwife is this normal and she looked at me like I was speaking another language and said “yes you’re pregnant”.
Had anyone else had this? I’ve always been overweight so never noticed it in my last 2 pregnancies.
I literally can’t get over how my legs (all lower body and arms to be honest!) have ballooned. Is this actual fat? is it swelling? It’s definately cellulitey!!!!!
I know I probably sound vain but i’m 36 and basically had only 1 summer in my life (last year) where I could wear normal clothes without worrying. Now I feel like i’ve gone back to the beginning!
