What size are you now?



Recommended Posts

This question has vexed me recently. I have lost 34lbs. I started out with Lane Bryant 18's, that I bought in January and February 2012. Those jeans now fall off me. I saved my "skinny" jeans from when I had lost some weight after my last baby Feb 2011, and am currently rocking those, they are also LB size 18. WTF?! With all the size changing, I no longer feel I will ever see single digits. I mean, seriously, if I have lost 34lbs and have 80 to go, does that mean I will only see a 14? Loosing the 80lbs will put me at the weight I was in high school, when I was wearing 6-8!!!

And we wonder why there is such an epidemic among our young girls to starve themselves and/or become bulimic?!?! Seriously! Since now size 12 is considered plus size, when in fact that size has been changed countlessly from its original size of 4, then dear God! We are defeating our young girls before they even try to love their bodies!!!

I started in 22w at 287 and now wear 18's a tad bit baggy and size 16 can fit depending on the type of jeans is snug. I wear 2x tops because I still have to cover up the belly roll so I don't like form fitting shirts. surgery was 2 months ago 10/29/2012 and today weigh 227

My RNY was on Oct. 15' date=' 2012 I was 276lbs today I am 221lbs and I'm 5'11". I started in a size 20, today I'm in a size 14.... My goal is size 8/10, but a dream would be to get into a size 6.[/quote']

Very possible I never thought I would be a size 2. You will be a size 6 in no time.

I started off at 24' date=' I can wear a size 20 I think if I got rid of the extra roll in front I could get into size 18 or 16...[/quote']

I think if I didn't have a tummy(I know much less now) but I have a tummy. If that was out of the way I think I would be a size 1

Started out at 26/28 now down to 18/20. Surgery date was 12-4. Goal size would be 8/10. You can buy some pretty sexy lingerie at that size... He he

I love lingerie

I agree but I'm starting to wonder I'm I the only one in size 2 jeans after WLS? I was honestly happy when I was wearing size 7 and wanted to stay there but I quickly lost some hips lmbo & wala size 2. Omg! I'm disappearing.

I think it all depends on the way the pants are made, because certain brands I can fit into a size 20 perfectly but then in another brand they could be too tight...I wish they would make clothes all the same.

I wish women's clothes were like men's in that issue. It can be so disheartening to fit into a 14 in one pant and an 18 in another

Me too! I wear a 12 if they are not stretchy and a 10 if they are. I never know what size i really must try them on.

I was 22/24 my goal is to be a 9/10-I'm thinking it's not what today's standards are it's what you think is good for you! Health wise.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
