[QUOTE="mcs, post: 246628, member: 12"] Somehow I've developed a distended abdomen/hard belly and umbilical hernia (inverted navel) similar to the attached photo. I cannot tell if it's visceral adipose tissue (VAT) or subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (SAT) - perhaps both. I cannot see my abs even when I flex so there's SAT. It's not just on the lower part of abdomen but on the upper as well. I don't take any AAS or GH. Not on T but need to address that since my levels are in the tank. The subcutaneous fat is there but I can only pinch an inch when I tighten my abs. It's the musculature underneath that has shaped into a bubble and is hard. At the end of a day of eating/drinking fluids, it gets pretty noticeable, like blowing up a balloon with the navel sticking out. By morning, it somewhat dissipates. [URL='https://app.box.com/s/e260r22u09iszqbbdolzxpe28u4gdhmp']Abdominal ultrasound[/URL] did not reveal any VAT (at least not reported) nor any abnormalities. The hepatic hemangioma in the report is benign. Colonoscopy revealed a grade 3 hiatal hernia of which I am asymptomatic. Diet is clean, approx 2000kcals/day 35-40% protein, 15-20% carbs, 40-50% fats I've been this weight before and did not have this bubble gut or inverted navel. Losing weight doesn't seem to shrink the bubble. What the hell is this and what can I do? [/QUOTE]
