I have no pants! (NSV)



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to share my nsv with everyone. I've lost more than 50 pounds since I started this journey its been slow going and kinda frustrating but I'm really seeing results in my body.

I started this process as a size 24 on the bottom inching towards a 26. Now I sit solidly in 18! Which means of shrunk out if every piece of bottom wardrobe I own lol.

...What a wonderful problem to have :-)

My biggest challenge now is to find the mythical size 18 Jean at thrift stores.

I would love to hear stories about others nsv, who else has shrunk out of their pants? ;)

Keep it up! I bet you'll shrink through many sizes on the way to your goal.

When i started, I was a tight 16. I had some size 31 jeans (12) put away, hoping that SOMEDAY I'd fit into them. Now it's 4.5 mos. after surgery, and those 12's are getting super loose! Buy yourself a good belt, girl. You'll need it! :)

I've been digging in plastic bins all afternoon, finding pants, shorts, tops that I can take to the beach next week for a conference. I've gone from a 22/24 to a 14/16 and had packed away many pieces that I can now wear. Sweet.

Sadly (but not quite), I'm also finding 22/24s that I never wore because I was so depressed, I didn't want to go outt and be seen by anyone. Will add them to the garage sale pile.

I also bought two new bathing suits today. Size 16 for one; size 14 for the other. Just enjoy the journey!

I realized this week that my 16W were falling off me to the point that I just can't wear them anymore. The big (first world) problem I have is finding the time to shop, between working 11 hour days and my commitment to exercise 5 hours a week. There just isn't time to shop! (I know - tough problem).

Size 18 is hard to find. Old Navy carries that size in the store. The Rockstar Jean is great and affordable. If you have a Macy's, Style & Co. and the Inc. brand both have size 18 in the misses section.

I was in 22 when I started. Fortunately I had jeans I never threw out as I grew, so I was good through 20 and 18. I had one pair of 16's that I wore for about two weeks at the end of my last diet before gaining back into 18's. I managed to find 1 other pair 16 at the thrift store. Those are now getting loose and I bought two pairs of 14's on eBay. Needless to say I do a lot of laundry!

And I just went through my closet and every pair of summer pants/capris/shorts I own now fall off me. So yeah, I'm almost pant-less, too.

I just took a break from cleaning my closet! Went from. 24/26 to 12/14. It was packed full of clothes thAt still had the tags on them. I tried to shop for some new clothes but The problem is that nothing really fits right. I guess things will even out eventually

Thanks so much. :)

Sounds like everyone is doing great! I find its both sad and fun to go through my clothes (I tend to get attached to my word robe lol) but I've had friends I let pick through the old stuff... she's waiting eagerly for me to get rid of some of my high end stuff ;)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
