water storage in old fat cells?

psychod787

First off, thanks to all the people who answer my questions here! I would like to ask a strange question. I am a nurse, so I wear scrubs at navel level. I lost A LOT of weight, so I have old fat cells in my loose skin that hang down. I have noticed that when I am at work, or wear pants that pull on stomach and put pressure of that area seems to cause the fat cells to maybe fill up? goes from feeling like skin to edematis... kind of like a stress ball. if I press it, my fingers leave an indentation for a few seconds. Is this normal? Thanks again!

OK - you are a nurse, so you have more biology and medical knowledge than many os us who are on this community page ... still, I was kind of intrigued by your question and googled " edema in the belly flap" ... so I think you should see your doctor about it. It could be nothing or it could be very serious.

Congrats on losing all the weight! I'd suggest reaching out to one of the doctors you work with, they probably can give you a better answer than we can or at least refer you to somebody who can.

Now, let's play with every whoosh-wisher's head!

So think about it: the actual fat loss has already taken place. So when a whoosh happens... it is 100% loss of LEAN MASS

Admitedly, it is also 100% NOT muscle type of lean mass that is being whooshed away!
