Guys, what do you consider your ideal pants size ?



Recommended Posts

Right now at 11 months post surgery I went from being a 56/58 to now I'm in a 40/42. Ideal size for me would be about a 34/36. So I'm really really close to reaching that goal.

I was wearing 52's before and now I'm wearing 42's...who knows where I'll end up but it's pretty damn cool how much everything has changed.

I was wearing 46/48 and now I'm in 38s. So good. I'd be happy at 36/38.

If I go by the link to that Men's Health article with the 2:1 ratio then 36" would be my ideal. Good number to shoot for then

So this was posted about a month post-op. I can say that is WAS a good number to shoot for and I am currently wearing 36"s

I'm currently 32, but the pants are a little baggy in the seat. I wish I could get back up to a 34. I felt and looked better.

I'm at a 36 levi now. I'm very happy with it. I'm only 7 months out of sleeve surgery. I'm hoping to definitely get down to a 34 no less than that. But the difference in brands are crazy. I tried gap jeans on they were pretty snug old Navy very lose. American Eagle and Levi fit well. I remember when I was huge I would by old Navy jeans just for the smaller number

Since this post my 36" Levi 559s are getting loose around the waist. I could probably wear 34"s. I asked for a pair for Christmas. Even if they don't fit it will be a goal.

I am a slow looser so it has taken me a year and half since surgery but I finally hit 30W x 30L. That's down from a size 52W two years ago. I feel wonderful. I am flipping over backwards with joy. I never ever dreamed I'd be this small again.

i wear "chef wear" pants. baggy and elastic waist. largest 5 X, currently 3 X. at my healthiest i wore a 32 square. i don't think i can get to 32 without a little snip, snip here, snip, snip, there. getting into a 38 would be like crossing the bridge into "onederland". just about half way there!

I was 54" for many years. I've gotten down to 34" since 9 months post op and remain at 34" 2 years out.

Hoping to stay at this size forever ...

I am 32/34 depending on what style of pants. This is coming from a 52. I never thought I would be below 36.

      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.

        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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
