I'd like to be at a size 10, since that's the lowest size Torrid carries. (I work there and get a killer employee discount) but I really wouldn't mind being an 8 or 6.

Torrid makes me so mad. They haven't had any cute clothes in like 3 or 4 years. The buyers they have now are terrible.

I don't miss paying $40 for a graphic tee.

I'm a 12 sometimes a 10 now and my goal now is an 8. When you get closers you might want to go smaller.

@@OutsideMatchInside I can agree that probably wouldn't pay the prices if I didn't get the employee discount. I've noticed that the styles haven't been as good in the past year or so. I still really dig the jeans and the dresses. "Cute" is definitely a matter of opinion. I also find that everything looks better in person than it does online.

And congrats! I can't remember being under a size 14, so the day I get to a 12 I'll probably cry haha.

My dream is an 8 but I'm a 26 right now so maybe I'll be happy to get down to a 16 and go from there.....

You'll be surprised at how much you're gonna lose!

I think there must be a formula based on original size since we all have different starting weights and amounts of excess weight. I was a size 20 and now I'm size 8. I would have said size 12 before wls becauze I couldn't conceptualize myself being smaller prior to wls. Size 8 feels perfect for me!

10 or 12 is my current goal. I cannot even imagine being a size 4. I think my bones alone are bigger than that! But maybe not! And you look amazing!! But I myself, cannot fathom it. I started out at a size 28/30. Currently a 16. And to be honest with you, I can totally live with this. But I wouldn't mind getting down to a 10/12.

I am 1 year post op. Started out a size 20 and my sizing is all over the place. Anywhere between a 6 to 10. I am in love with Ralph Lauren right now, due to their vanity sizing I wear a 6 in that brand. Most others I wear an 8. Brands like Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, etc which are geared toward a younger demographic (I'm 42), I wear a 10 or a L. post-267276-14850240251332_thumb.jpg

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
