So excited for you! I have a box of shorts that are one size smaller and I'd like to think I'll be able to wear some of them before summer is over or at least on a hot fall day! I know your surgery was 5 days before mine, how long did the gas and bloating last for you? I gained weight from the surgery, but I'm assuming it's gas and Water, I'm taking walks to get rid of it and I haven't had anything but liquids since last Monday, so I'm assuming, it will all wash away eventually and I'll see a big drop in the next week or so. I'm not worried about it, but I'd like to see some change in the scale! :)

My gas pressure just went away on Thursday. I've been feeling really great since then!! Also I stalled out after surgery and didn't see the scale moving until I started eating more calories. I started using skim milk in my shakes instead of Water b/c I was only getting 500 calories a day. More calories definitely helped.

I am the exact same way! People say 12 lbs, but not for me! It's my butt! It takes me about 30-35 lbs to go down a size.

That is awesome. I am down from a 22 to an 18 and they are getting loose. 16s are still too tight. I am hopeful.

Congrats!!!!!! I'm down about 30 lbs and am not down a size yet :cursing: It's ok though :) My jeans are getting loose...the size smaller is still too small, but my old stretched out jeans (the ones that I was wearing when they were a bit snug) are now loose enough for me to pull them off without unbuttoning LOL

Keep up the good work!!!!

I know sizes vary greatly. Does anyone think manufacturers have changed their sizing charts too as we grow more obese as a country?

I was a 14 in HS, 25+ years ago and 100+ pounds ago. At my heaviest I was mostly in an 18. Sometimes a 20, sometimes a 16 due to varying stores and brand, but mostly an 18. I have only bought 1 new pair of pants that is a 16. :lol: Anything else new is STILL a DAMN 18 and I am down just shy of 50lbs.

I am a slow user and have always carried my weight well. But when I was 160 lbs. in HS I was a 14. By today's sizing, it would be a smaller #. ODD

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
