Hey guys having good results I was wearing a size 44 before the sleeve and now I'm down to a 38 and I'm feeling awesome. How many pants have you dropped so far? I'm only 7 weeks out.

I was a 44, now in a 38 and they are getting looser every week. I was in a 2 x shirt and some of them were tight and now I am in xl and they are getting loose too. I am a pack rat and had my clothes from when I was smaller packed away. It feels so good to see clothes I had not worn in 10-15 years and then putting them on and they feel great. I am down 68 lbs, sleeved 5-13.

From a 64 to a 48 in 6 months, can't wait till I can shop in a real clothing store again. Also a 2x down from a 6x shirt wise and on the last notch of my second belt in that time.

Was a 56 at my peak in 1999. Was a 48ish when I was cut. Down to a 38 easy and might be able to get into a 36 now at goal - 20.

Started at a 56 in May when I had the surgery this year and down to a 40 now after six months. Loss seems to be slowing down so may be at that size for a while. Jackets have gone from 3XL to L as well..

Was a 46-48 now 30-32. Shirts were xxl to a medium. I'm a little over a year out

I was waist 48 shirt xxl. Now 5 months out 34 waist and medium shirts. Feel great

Just had my surgery on Wednesday (11/20/13) and wanted to know what would be good for my 'meals' while on the liquid phase of the post op diet.. any suggestions??? I know I need water and protein shakes but what can I 'eat'?? And is it more important that I try to get in the water and protien shakes down instead of trying to eat?

Try sugar free jello pudding

Is it crazy that I literally had one small spoon full of jello and felt like I just ate at a buffet...???

I've only lost about 35 pounds in 2 months but I'm down 3 pants size! I'm pleased with the smaller size. My doctor is thrilled . She said I'm losing far but gaining muscle.

I was size 44 in aug. Now I am a size 36.

Awesome updates everyone, I'm in 38 now and looks like size 36 is around the corner.... My shirts are XL from a 4x .

Going from a 44 to 38 waist size sounds unbelievable and so fantastic. Congratulations. I have my surgery next month (Dec 14th) so I'm hoping that in the next few months I'll be receiving some of the perks you talk about. Focusing on the things I can DO was much more valuable than the things I CAN'T DO (YET!!!) once again congrats on your success.

I had my surgery last march, so just a hair over 9 months. went from a tight 48... ok 50 waist, and an now at a 36 waist. xxxl shirts and now in a comfortable large. 380 lbs down to 220. it happened so fast... i had some complications, but man in 9 months i am back to where i was when i got married 21 years ago...
