Guys, what do you consider your ideal pants size ?



Recommended Posts

@@suitechicguy that's awesome!

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

Right now I am a 48/50. Would love to get back to a 32 but will be happy to put on a pair of 38s!

According to Men's Health formula I need to be 8'4" tall and I'd look great! My BMI would be good too probably. Maybe HGH is the key? (Just joking before I get lambasted)

I think I've hit bottom. I've gone from a size 52 to a size 30. I've also gone from a size XXL shirt to a size S. Ha ha I'm having trouble finding sizes that fit me. It's taken me a year a half to get this far. I am a slow looser. Many times I've been upset hearing how much people 'have lost. So far I've lost 125 pounds going from 309 to 184 pounds. According to BMI for my height 5'10 I am still over weight. To be normal weight I need to loose another 10 pounds. My PCP says not to loose another pound. My nutritionist says I can loose the 10 pounds but not a pound more. I see my Bariatric surgeon Dr. Rivas at Stanford in June to talk about removing the excess skin. I don't have much because,?I lost so slow but I still want to see to have the procedure done. I've already spoken to my insurance company and they said I am covered and will approve the surgery. I just need the doctor's request. It won't cost me a dine since I am already over my out of pocket maximum for the year. I am 52 and happy with my weigh and clothes sized for the first time in years.

Last post on this thread was Nov 19th. I was in a 42 waist. Now February 28th, I can proudly proclaim I'm in a 38 waist. Down from a 58 waist just 20 months ago. Almost two feet off my frame gone. I feel damn proud of that. I think I'm gonna finally end up between a 34/36. And I'll be more than okay with that. I'm in the size where I can now virtually shop for clothing anywhere I want too. I'm no longer just forced into Big and Tall stores for clothing anymore.

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

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 now in a 32" Levi 559 and a 34 in my dress slacks. I can't imagine going down another size.

I'm now a 30/30 at 5'10 same length (Inseam) as waist! Used to be a 40/30...I'm nearing 140 pound range from 239 high. I have lost slow and don't seem to have any lose skin?! I wear medium shirts and had the sleeve procedure.

Well, here I am, stalled out at a size 40. I shouldn't complain (I was at a tight 50), but I've hit my wall. Now that Spring is getting here, maybe I can get some outside time in, and drop some more.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!
