What size do you want to be?

Anything in regular sizes would be groovy. Just shopping in regular stores is my goal... once I get there, I'll reset expectations. I can just imagine how much fun that will be! My credit card will be smokin.

I started at a 22W and XXL mens shirts. My goal was size 12 but I am in a 10 now and medium womens shirts.

I'm 5'8 & started at a size 24. I'm currently fitting comfortably in a size 18. I would love a size 10, but I'll see when I get there!!

Right now, I am in a 28 and sometimes 30 in shirts. I would be beyond thrilled to fit into a size 10. I am 5'4". Goodness, I can't wait to be banded at the end of this month.

Being a man we worry about sizes also.!! I wear a size 52 waist and 4x shirt but plan on a 38-40 waist and a xl shirt when banded!!!

For the past few years, I was around 16. Right now I'm wearing a size 20 -- which I HATE of course. I'd do a jig naked in the streets of NYC if I could get down to a 12. Haven't seen a 12 in about 7 years. I'm 5'8 with a medium to large build.

I don't care what my BMI says, it is a scale and so it lies too.

I could be 190 and wear a size a 12 and I would sink like a rock in a pond. Not fat, but solid.

I would love anything 14 or down. I topped out at 22/3X shirts and I'm an 18/1X shirt now. I haven't been below 14 since college..............I am only 5'3"

I started at a 26/28 and would love to see size 10. I just can't imagine that though! I haven't seen size 10 since kindergarten! :) I am currently in 22 jeans but still 24-26 tops. It seems like I'm losing faster from my waist down that in my top part.

Has anyone ever had the idea of having a clothes swap, etc.? So many of us are at different stages and since we won't stay there long, wouldn't it be nice if we could all swap around clothes and save us tons of money on "pass-thru" sizes??:wave:

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
