Ok ..so I went to a store for the first time..not just digging through my closet and yes..I am finally down one pant size. Now that may no seem like much BUT I haven't seen this size for 11 years much less even squeezed myself into it! They slipped right now and zipped effortlessly with room to spare! (sorry gentlemen..this next part you can disregard!) I also had a change in bra size ..when down a full 2 inches and went up a cup size! LoL ..maybe things just shifted in that aspect! But still who ever heard of going up a cup size wild!!! I am proud of me and my sleeve! I am on a journey and I hope it continues to go well! 9 w and 5 d out and down 49# and I guess that is good!

Great job!! As for the difference in cup size, chances are you weren't wearing the proper one before hand. I noticed in the bigger sizes, that there is much more "wiggle room" in the sizes then there are in the smaller ones. Still, a great feeling to know you haven't lost "there" (at least yet lol).

And YES... 49lbs in 9 weeks is great!

Actually, bra fitting "experts" tell you that if you go down in band size, you have to go up in cup size. There is no real change in their size, it's all perspective of cuts. Same thing happened to me, I dropped from a 40I/J to now a 34G/H. It was tricky because it was like band, band, cup, band, cup, cup, band.

Congrats on your loss! Changing sizes as we loose lbs is so exciting.

I got "sized" at Victoria's Secret the other day and the gal said I was a 39D but they only went up to 38 so I should try a 38DD. I was looking for a full coverage bra and about had a heart attack when she handed me the bra... it looked like watermelons could fit in it. Then the darned thing fit and I was even more irritated. I looked huge and it totally felt like false advertising. I bought a bra but I think I'll end up taking it back. It's just not that comfortable. I've never worn full coverage bras because they're so bulky and I tend to not want to look bigger.

Try a department store to get fitted. I don't shop at VS anymore. They are expensive and don't hold up. Wacoal brand is awesome and pretty!!! Good luck!

I was so glad when I went shopping and realized than I could buy clothes without a W behind the number....... and I went down in bra size to 38 DD from 42 DD and now I love going shopping jeans on clearance 13.00 and 7.00 at walmart....shirts are XL not 2x or even 1x ,..... I'm loving this new body.

      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... :(
