I'm Bored So I Posted Some Pictures XPost
I got my butt padding today so I thought I would take a picture. Not too bad, gives me a little more curves then I had but not a huge difference. Not the most comfortable thing in the world. Just a heads up. If you order butt padding from China, get the next biggest size. In China Small means Small. I had to struggle a bit to get in them.
Maybe I am getting used to seeing myself so small but I don't look as bad as I thought I did. It seems with all the comments I've been getting you would think I looked a lot more boney but unless I have my clothes off it doesn't seem like it. I mean it doesn't look like I am going to keel over and die the way some people have acted. But then again, I never really saw myself as big as I was, either. Maybe my perception is just messed up. I really do want to gain some more weight, though.
When I had my first surgery I got as low as 120 lbs, for a few minutes and I thought I looked terrible but maybe if I had managed to stay there things would have redistributed and I would have looked better.
The picture of me in the red shirt was when I weighed 120 lbs and I think I look better now, but like I said, maybe I am just getting used to myself.
This picture was taken on 1/27/2011. I weighed 145 lbs. I think I look pretty good. I have lost 45 lbs since then :(

Looking good. You're really tiny, but I don't think you look like walking
death at all. You look pretty fabulous. I love the short bob by the way.
I have a flat butt...always had a flat butt. I just tell people it was
"*****in" in the 70's. I considered butt padding but anybody I've
talked to that tried it says it's really uncomfortable and doesn't
stay put when you are sitting and up and down all day. Sigh.
Maybe I'll have a round butt in the next lifetime. I just don't
think it's in my cards this time around. Anyhoo.....you look
fabulous!

Thank you so much! I am totally serious when I say that there are some people who are convinced that I am very ill and possibly dying. I had one friend I hadn't seen for a while grab my hand and kept saying "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?" Freaked me out.
The butt padding stays in place but that is probably because it is pretty small for me. And it's not very comfortable, like wearing a thong. I may wear it again because it does give me a little booty but I think I may look for one a little bigger. I wonder if they make body shappers with a little padding?

I know they make lower body shapers with butt padding. I've seen it but can't remember where.
How tall are you? You definitely look petite but I wouldn't say you look unhealthy. Those people are really insensitive to say things like that!

*45 lbs were lost pre-op. 5' 3 1/2"
I am 5'3". My weight puts me just at the underweight BMI.
I don't understand why people say the things they do. These are friends I have known for years. I was getting to where I didn't want to leave the house, I was so self conscious. I felt like people were looking at me and judging me, like I felt when I was obese. I realize I probably looked very different then they were used to seeing me.

About a year after my first surgery I had a pannectomy done and I had implants done, without a lift, which I really should have had. I regret the implants but I'm glad I had the pannectomy done. Even after I regained 100 lbs and then lost it again I don't have any lose skin below my belly button. Above it is another story but I can't afford a tummy tuck and the difference in being able to wear clothing is worth it. My insurance paid for it.

I think the pics look fabulous! You don't look too skinny. Your weight looks pretty proportionate to your height. I love the new haircut too.
As for the booty, try walmart. When I was shopping last week I saw some shorts with padding. They were by the womens undies! I know I am going to need a booty when I lose some more. Its the first thing thats going and is already almost completely flat.
