Nsv: How Many Pants Sizes Have You Dropped? No More Big And Tall

Since surgery on July 17th I've went from a Big and Tall men's 48 inch waist to a regular 40 inch waist.

From Levi's 559's (relaxed straight) to 505's (regular straight). Which is nice not only because it's a smaller, slimmer size, but also because big and tall clothes cost more than regular clothes.

U went from an 18/20 to a 12 in just over a month? That's insane! These posts are so inspiring, especially since I am just 6 days post op. I also started at a 18 and bought a size 10 dress for next spring. At this rate I will probably fit Into a lot earlier than then!:) plz share ur secrets people!

That's so exciting! I wear a 2xl in scrubs but recently ordered a size large pre op in anticipation that they will fit in a few months. I figure even if my body levels out at a medium then at least my scrubs will be a little loose..just how I like them ;)

From a 16 to a 10 or 8 in jeans. XL or 1x to a M or L in tops! (surgery July 18)

Shoes..8.5 to 7!

Pants 34 to a 24

Shirt 5x to a 2x

I did!! So very exciting. I am 5'6". I started out at 221 and as of this morning I am 193. I am eating well and never feel deprived. I am riding my bike at least 2-5 miles a day and walking 3-4 days per week. Nothing really strenuous or extra special as far as exercise. I had a small two week stall about two weeks ago. Everything is going good. You will see the same results. Just realize that everyone does things at their own pace. You will get there!!! Congrats on your choice to better your health.
