I'm an apple shape and wear a 18w now...I was a tight 22w. Anyone been where I am? Tell me your story! This liquid diet is not getting easier!

There has to be some other woman who is as tall as I am with an apple shape. No way am I the only one.

Sorry, I'm only 5ft5in and pear shape.... But I just wanted to wish u luck for your surgery! I know the liquid diet sucks, hang in there, it will be here before you know it! (I'm nearly 3 was post op)

Good luck on your surgery. I'm pear shaped and 5'3 but I'm only 2 weeks post op. I didn't have to do liquids before surgery, but I had two weeks of liquids following surgery. Today I get instructions for my next step. I will say in 14 days I've lost 17 lbs. so just follow instructions and you will do great!!

I am 5-10 but more of a pear. I am 255 now which is 12 weeks after surgery. I was 295 at surgery. I am a comfortable (loose) 1X in shirts now and 18 in pants. since your starting below me you will look and feel awesome so soon! being tall helps a lot.

I am 5'10"...started 303...down to 234...I am a former pear - who turned into a sort of apple for some years- who's turning into a pear again! I was wearing 26/28 & 30/32...down into 22s & some 20s.

Best of luck to you!

Awesome job ladies! I'm excited to get moving. Right now I'm trying not to bite someone's head off bc of lack of food on this liquid diet.

I was just barely enough. But I have been barely enough for 8 years!! Once I was accepted I was told to lose 10lbs or no date with the surgeon. Got my date and he told me to lose as much as I can.

Yes I too am 5'10" and an apple shape!! Started at 257.8 and have lost down to 170.4 pounds. I now wear a size 6-8 and a S/M. It is absolutely fantastic!!!

I can't imagine wearing a s/m shirt how exciting!! I have some old old jeans and pants I've been saving for years! : )

Right now I think I'd be happy with a large and no X's with it! Lol...I'd be perfectly happy with a 14. A 10 is my ultimate goal!!

Totally!!! Can't wait for more choices in clothing. Not to be told when asking where is the women's sizes " there in the back by the elevator" and like nothing to choose from!

I am 5'9" and 256, totally apple shape. I agree it helps to be tall, but I am tired of hearing people say "you don't need to have surgery, you carry your weight well". Um, I don't WANT to carry my weight at all! :-P

I would be thrilled wearing a size 10!!

Looking to have surgery in late June/ early July, IF I ever get my doctors office to call me with a date.

I'm 5'9" and 2 weeks ago (the day of surgery) I was 268 and now I'm 242. I have put my measurements into a body calculator and it said I was pear shaped. My butt is bigger than my boobs and they are both bigger than my waist. Currently wear a size 18W/20W and xl top but the pants are starting to get big on me! My band on my bras are also getting big which is upsetting because I have little tatas.

5'11" and started at 265. Surgery was 1/17 and I'm down to 205. Wearing a 16 and XL, but 16's are getting baggy. Hourglass shape and losing more in my waist than anywhere else. Wearing a dress today in a size large for the first time in 23 years!
