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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
