size ? How many have you gone down?



Recommended Posts

I went from a 22/24 in Lane Bryant sizes to a size 10 in Gap!!! I agree with others. The sizes didn't really start going down quickly until I got into the smaller sizes. Goal is an 8 but I don't think I'm going to make that one. I'm almost 5'10" so an 8 might be too small!

I'm kinda like you. 112 lbs gone, and I've gone from a tight 28 to a 22, almost 20. It seems it takes a long time to drop sizes at the higher weights, but it'll go faster at the lower weights. I pretty much skipped 24s altogether. It's strange how it happens...

It is my yo-yo experience that a person will lose or gain one size for every10 pounds, so to go from a 20 to an 18 you would need to lose 20 pounds. I have lost 60 pounds and went from a 24 to a 18. This rule applies until you get below size 12 or 14 then it takes less weight loss to move sizes. I noticed that your weight loss has been significant but your size loss has not. This could be that larger sizes takes more weight to move sizes just like smaller sizes takes less or you are losing more muscle than you need to because muscle weighs more than fat. I hope the first is the case. Do you exercise regularly (3-5) days a week for 45-60 minutes? You have to ensure the weight loss is fat and not muscle. Congrats on your loss and keep up the good work. I should also say that I am 6 foot tall so the above experience may not apply to everyone.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
