Can I Say I'm Down 10 Sizes?!

[Alajane 17]

I started this journey in size 26 and got my tummy stuffed into size 16 jeans this weekend!! I know that's really 5 sizes but 10 just sounds so much better!! My surgery was June 28 and it seemed to take forever to go from 3X to 2X but, like everybody says, the sizes go down faster as they get a little smaller. I know I can't wear 16s in everything but was thrilled to fit into these jeans (I had gotten a great deal on them from ebay, just figuring if they didn't fit now they should later). Happy, happy dance!!

You are doing great! Congrats on your 16's! What a great feeling. In my case it was true about sizes, as I got smaller (started at a screaming 18) the smaller sizes came quicker. Before I knew it I was wearing a comfortable 8! Keep up the great work.

I can't even imagine right now fitting into a 16!! You are AWESOME! I haven't been sleeved yet, hoping sometime in January or February.. before you know it, you'll be donating those and going into a size 10 LOL.. good job!!

Hooray & good for you!! I'm right there with you...sleeved on June 19 in a size 26/28 and now wearing 18's with some 16's ready to go very soon. The other day at Marshall's I tried on a size 14 stretchy wrap dress. It was still a little tight, but it actually went on my body & fastened like it was supposed to. I could tell it will fit just fine in another 15-20 lbs...so I bought it immediately!!

Thanks for your good wishes! A few months ago, 16 seemed like an impossible dream, so I'm very happy to get these on. Sadly, when I look in the mirror I don't see much difference--tummy is still twice the size of everything else (except arms, which are also huge!). Sadly, lots of clothes would fit except the sleeves.--but I'm definitely not here to complain!
