How about some NSVs!?!?

Today: bought size 18 jeans, size xl sweatpants from the regular side, and last night I took a bath for the first time in forever. I measured my hips and I've lost 20 inches.

Oh and I'm a big sports fan and I get to buy all new jerseys for each of my teams and now I wear a medium... I used to hate that the axis was on the outside for all the world to see... Now I love it

The smallest clothes I own are now too big for me. I went from having only two complete outfits in 2X that fit (barely) back in May, to 1X, to XL, to L (pant sizes going down from 22, 20, 18, 16, 14) - all of which I already owned due to an Optifast weight loss back in '09. I'm edging into unfamiliar territory - MEDIUMS!! And sz12's! From here on in it is all unfamiliar territory.

Now, whenever I buy a sz12, I also pick up a sz10. I'm even eyeing sz8's and smalls on clearance racks - is it possible I could get THAT small? :-)

Its "that" time of the month...I feel fat and bloated.....but....my "I feel fat pants" are now a 16 vs a 22/24.

Also....although tops were lasting longer because they aren't as fitted...most of mine are too big now. I don't have one jacket that is even passable.

It was extremely cold outside this morning so I decided to look for my size 14 pea coat which I wore the first year I had the band now 2 months post op from bypass the coat fits and I've got room in the sleeves that I never had. I haven't been able to wear this coat for the last 5 years! I'm so excited!

I sure wish there was universal sizing.... I have clothes from a fourteen to a twenty, all fit well! All around the same size too, just different brands... Very frustrating when trying to purchase online.....

I agree! I hate this which is why I stick with only a couple brands. Usually Levis and Maurices.

      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! 😞
