Recommended Posts

thank you so much for your kind words. you are right' date=' maybe i should try lane bryant 16's huh or avenue. i just cant swallow i only lost 1 pants size. not losing over 60lbs because every 10lbs is a pants size. again thank you[/quote']

I've always found that in plus sizes each size is 20lbs. Also big difference for me between a 18W & 18 regular. Once I get out of plus sizes, each 10 lbs drops to a new size. I can't wait to get out of plus sizes !!!

i was sleeved 9/12/12 ive lost 47lbs since surgery' date=' and 16lbs before surgery, here are my stats

september i lost 10lbs

november i losts 16lbs

december i lost 9lbs

january so far first week 4lbs

why am i not happy? i will tell you why because i went to ross today to see what size pants i wear i just knew i was a 16 or 18

so i grabbed a bunch of jeans in that range and do you know the 18 i couldnt fit i wonder how big my ass really was, but my 22/24 jeans are way to big for me i was so sad because i knew i could at least get in an 18. this battle is something else man. talk to me fellow sleevers.[/quote']

Hey for some reason I'm seeing the same thing, I did go down two sizes but it was weird I lost 50 lbs and thought like you ill be smaller and I wasn't I was do upset but then this last 13 lbs took a ton of inches off! I think we loose it so fast it take a a min for our bodies to catch up bc I remember in the past the rule of thumb being for every 20lbs was a size right!? Doesn't seem to be the case here huh? Keep your head high you have kicked some A**!!!! Lol xoxoxox

Until I get to the size I want to be I buy my jeans at thrift store/garage sales. I have 5 pairs of size 14 jeans and 3 pairs of 16's. Three pairs of the 14's fit (others too tight) and 1 pair of the 16 aren't too loose (rest too loose). It's the brand of jean I promise!

I am so glad I came across this thread. I was about to shop for some smaller clothes just knowing that in 20 lbs or so I'll be in a size 14/16 but ummm I'll wait and just dig out the few things that I have that are in smaller sizes that hopefully I can fit...

I am 168 and wear size 15/16. Additionally I find that jeans that are labeled curvy fit me perfect. I know Aeropostale sells curvy only online and I think they go to a 17/18. I also got some curvy jeans at Kohls. Try them jeans that have curvy on their label and u will see they fit so much better.

That just goes to show you that brands are different when it comes to sizes. I'm 5'6 weigh 188 and have 3 size 14's that fit great...but I have 2 other 14's that don't fit...all 5 are different brands.

I read that the bigger a person is, the longer it takes to drop sizes Nd he smaller you get, the quicker the sizes drop.

I tried on seriously-60 pairs of jeans on New Year's Day. God love my boyfriend. I was able to get a 14 on in 2 brands- yet some brands the 18 wouldn't go up my thighs. Ugh. So frustrating. Try a brand of jeans called source of wisdom- they are a super stretchy material and you should be able to wear them a bit longer than some other jeans.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
