Is An 8 A Romotely Possible Size After Sugery?

[audreycat123 59]

HI guys, so I went ahead and got a super awesome pair of size 8 jeans as inspiration. They came in the mail today and they look soo small! Has anybody made it to an eight? Or am I just setting myself up for failure? I am scheduled to be banded next month.

I know I will have to work super hard, the band is not a magic pill, it is a tool, It is more important to focus on my health, know I know I swear, but is an eight on the table?

I am currently an 18 or 20 in jeans. I haven't worn an eight since my air force days about fifteen years and two c sections ago.

ABSOLUTELY. I have a friend who was a 28... she's now an 8 and looks fantastic!

Nothing wrong with a little inspiration... good luck!

Definitely! I was an 18 in may when banded and am a 12/10 now (those awkward in between phases!)

I think it's totally possible! I've seen people here who started in 28's and are now wearing 6's. Anything is possible with determination!

You need to keep trying those jeans on as otherwise the same could happen to you that happened to me - you try them on and discover they are too big!

the only one who could stop that from happening, is you..

i know you will get there and you will be gorgeous (ps, you already are)

I just wanna say that everyone here is lovely and having this forum at my finger tips throughout this has been invaluable. I hope you all are doing well and message me if I can ever help!

Oh I love you guys! I just love you! I am so going to post a pic I my awesome size eight jeans as soon as possible! Thanks everyone!

Completely possible....and I would know! Started out at a tight 28!! And now I fit in a loose 6!

In fact, look at my avatar. That is me at a size 6 with my 28s on.

I'm an 8. 5 4 and 138 lbs. from 200 biggg ones.. ok not as big as some, but when youve lost the same 60+ pounds 10 times in your life.. thats 600 pounds.. so...is 8 possible.. its probable.. but heres the kick.. you want it.. it doesnt come for free. theres a price..

its called a food diary

a committment to healthy eating

an exercise program

believing in yourself

making the decision that you know its in your hands.. no one elses

going for it.

it is very possible, i was a size 28 and now a size 8. i went from 385 to 155. i get rid of the clothes when they get to big as to never have to wear them again. i did keep the size 28 just as a reminder..lol

I now wear an 8 also. Actually a 7/8 cuz I hafta wear junior pants cuz my hubby says the womens makes my butt sag. It's been almost 3 yrs and over 100 lbs ago that I bought a pair of capris that were a 22 - the largest size I've ever been in. It's totally possible! I still am bigger on top and wear between a large and XL. Guess I still have those Swedish shoulders my mom always told me I had.

Make sure you try them on from time to time. I think I skipped over size 12, went right from 14s to 10s. Good luck! You can do this!

Well when I started this mt hips measured 77". Currently they are 38" and I am now in 10s. I am amazed actually ... I thought I would be happy in a 14!! Now I have my sights set on 8.... So yes it is very doable!

After my friends lap band she was down to a size 4. She was so skinny the doctor told her she had to gain weight. Now she is a healthy size 8 .

Being a guy no! But I've lost 75lbs and let me tell ya I went shopping yesterday for some clothes I haven't bought anything yet because of my weight loss and it was a blast I found so many more choices in a smaller size and many more styles and to top it off on major clearance! Now what's more to life than that anyone?
