Can I Say I'm Down 10 Sizes?!



Recommended Posts

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. :blink: I could tell it will fit just fine in another 15-20 lbs...so I bought it immediately!! :P

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!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
