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.

      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! 😞
