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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
