Im almost 2 month out of a 360 bodylift and im having the hardest time buying jeans. Im now with a flat stomach. My thighs havent changed much so my regular jeans fit ok in my thighs but they are way to big on top in my hip and waist area.. is it true im gunna have to buy strechy jeans?? Im not a huge fan of those.

I have the same problem! Jeans are actually kind of uncomfortable now, because my butt is a different shape, and once I sit or bend over, I then have to hike them up, back into place. I just figure that when I have the time I will look until I find the right pair that is the right fit for me. It never occurred to me to go backwards to elastic again! I can't even consider that.

Have you gone to Gap or Old Navy? I find that both stores carry a wide range of cuts-- so (using Old Navy terms) perhaps you were a Diva cut (straight through hips and thighs) before and now you need a Sweetheart (smaller waist than hips) cut jean. Your description of your body sounds like what most stores label as a "curvy" style jean.

I second old navy. They have a great selection and expanded sizes. Some w some stretch, but not that pajama Jean stretch look! lol. Plus the prices aren't bad, if you're still losing and will be changing sizes soon.

I also had a 360 degree body lift, although my front half and back half were done at different times and my butt had an auto augment. I like stretchy jeans, lol. I have never been a fan of regular jeans- I just don't find them comfortable. Jeggings though, oh I love them. I liked them when I was bigger because there is a lot of flexbility on how they fit. For example, I wear a 0-2 American Eagle jegging now (they look like regular skinny jeans, just stretchy and softer) however I can also still fit into the same design in a size 12 because after you wash them they shrink a little bit and when I put them on, I don't stretch the 12's anymore so they stay shrunk. They are my new fat pants, which is funny since while I was losing weight that same pair of size 12's was a milestone for when I could fit into them.

So...don't hate the stretchy jeans before you try them. :)

I've always had a much smaller waist, and carry my weight in hips and thighs. However, since my 360 body lift, I have very pronounced saddlebags. That makes finding pants challenging. I have found the best success with pants that have some stretch and are a curvy fit. I haven't been to Old Navy, but I'm going to try them, too.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
