At my highest weight of 360 I could only wear a 26/28 from Lane Bryant if it had a lot of stretch in it I was 54" around the waist and 64" around my lower abdomen...at my starting weight of 335 I was wearing a size 26 jeans comfortably.

At my current weight of 253 I am wearing a size 20 jeans and size 1X top. I'm 41" around the waist and 53" around the lower abdomen.

My highest weight 267 I was wearing 22/24 even started buying 3x Lane Bryant too. Now at 208lbs I'm loosing inches fast too. I'm wearing 12/14 pants and 12/14 tops. Looks like Belly fat may be last and a TT is needed later.

I started at size 13/14 pants. Bought 1 or 2 pair of 15/16 which is when I said I had to do something. shirts were large & xlarge. Since surgery, I'm now wearing 5/6, shirts small. Been having fun shopping and just decided to try 3/4 pants. While i was able to get into a few of them, depending on the brands some were too tight. I'm actually hoping to plateau @ 5/6, but I won't complain if I continue to shrink if i continue to be healthy. I'm only 8 mons post op & know the weight is still dropping. i was told for my 5' height & body type I should weigh 107. So whenever i reach 107, I'll probably go down another size or 2. Either way, I'll continue to have fun shopping as its been years since I was able to shop without buying stuff to "try" to camouflage my midsection.

That is awesome!! Shopping does not feel like a chore anymore. It is fun to try on the latest styles that does not feel like someone cut the fabric from some left over curtains from a garage sale.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
