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

      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!!

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
