How fast did you go through sizes?



Recommended Posts

How fast did you go through sizes after your surgery? I tended to wear most of my clothes pretty fitted already but so far everything still fits exactly the same even though I'm down almost 30lbs. (I know like half of that was Water weight)

I kind of carry my weight weird, so I think that probably has something to do it with but I was just curious what everyone else's experiences were.

I am 8 weeks post op, down 45lbs since surgery and have gone from 30W jeans to a comfortable 24W (that havd been stockpiled)

...big change for me that still leaves my head spinning. Shirts and blouses will hang on me, but I still wear them. My size 11 shoes are loose so I wear my size 10s most of the timd.

When the time comes that I need clothes, I will be shopping thrift stores.

I was down about 100 at 6 months. I just hit one year and I'm down about 130. I started at a size 32. At 4 months I was in a 26. Right now I wear anything from 18-22 depending on the brand.

I started at a very tight 22/24 bottom and 2X top. By seven months out I was 100 pounds down and a size 10 bottom and a medium top. Today, 9 1/2 months out I am in a size 8 and a small top. :-)

I still can't believe it! :-)

I started at tight 22/24/3x and now fit into 16/18/XL depending on the brand. 5.5 months post op.

Goodwill and other thrift stores are wonderful!

I do too. Well at least as far as jeans go. I'll still have to buy some stuff but I have enough that if I wake up one morning and something is falling off of me I can still get to work ok. I got rid of almost all my clothes before surgery and was hoping I could fit into some smaller stuff by the them I go back to work. I've still have 3 weeks to go so hopefully that will happen.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
