Figured instead of counting and focusing on just the pounds we could take a look at our sizes as a way to encourage each other and motivate ourselves and others. I am a bit over three and a half months out and feeling great!

Pant Size Day of Sleeve: 40 and 42

Current Size Pants: 30

Shirt Size Day of Surgery: xxl

Current Shirt Size: Small

Day of surgery I wore a 24/26 pants and 3xl top

Current size 12 pants and med top

I've lost about 82-85 pounds (depending on the day) since I started PRE preop at the end of May 2013. I'm thrilled with my progress. At my highest weight, I was wearing size 34 women's plus size jeans. I'm now wearing a 22 very comfortably and even fit into some size 20 white jeans I ordered over the weekend. a bit tight, but they buttoned and zipped! lol They'll be perfect for the beach trip in two months. While a size 20 doesn't sound that small to some of you who started at that size, it's phenomenal for me since I haven't been this small in over 30 years......... and didn't stay there long at the time. It's down around 7-8 pants sizes, so I can not and will not complain! continued success to everyone!

Size 18 pants now 10/12. XXL top now large some mediums (I have rather large bobbies). Goal is a 6 pants and small/medium tops. Start weight 190 now 158ish down 32 lbs and 33 to go!!

I'm 5 weeks out and have gone from size 20 to size 16 pants. Yeah!

^{At my heaviest (253), I was pushing a 22 (though I refused to buy bigger than 20 in pants! lol). Preop I was 238 and size 18/20 (depending) and 44DDD bra. Now am 196, size 14 (comfy!) and 40DDD. Goal is to be a GOOD size 10/12. Boobage goal will vary. lol Am just glad I can now FIND bras more easily. Granted DDD is not the most common cup size, but 40 is definitely easier to find (affordably and aesthetically pleasing, than 44).}

At my worst 362 lbs (surgery 320)

Shirt: 4xl

Pants: 56 waist

Today 6 weeks after surgery, 282 lbs

Shirt: 3xl

Pants: 48waist

Lots of goodness still to come!

Just went shopping and guess what....size 10 even an 8. Wow!

Lumpy. I feel ya. Even tho I am onlu a week out. I have no changes and still feel as though I have my full stomach still. I have not stepped on the scale for fear of a higher number. (2 day out I weighed 7 lbs more than surgery day) water weight I know. O just can't do it yet. I have only been wearing sweats and yoga pants so cant tell a difference plus with no bra for a week (im still way sore) I cant tell if my too is smaller either. Prob to soon.

when did u guys start noticing a difference?

Congraysr on all the success! !
