Have fun, start with a 2x and then just try on down from there until you find your right size. The smaller clothes are the fun part of all this hard work.

Peace

I perfectly understand what you are talking about. I have lost 75lbs since my surgery and my clothes are very big,I started to feel and look dumpy in my old clothes. I would highly suggest is to go and try clothes on just to see where you are in size. Don't be hard on yourself and tale one day at a time. Also don't measure your weight loss success by someone else's weight loss success.

Keep up the great work.

I have lost 75 pounds and I was surprised at the size of clothes I was in I was a size 24, I am now a 18 I went to Salvation Army to buy jeans because I knew I wouldn't be in them very long. I bought 4 pairs of jeans for 22 dollars. Now I have to work on shirts they are all to big. I had my surgery in Nov.

amen! I'm down over 60 in total and I agree hit up a consignment shop and just try things on first. Get. Few things to hold you over while your still loosing. I refuse to spend to a of money on things I'll hopefully shrink out of soon. Take it slow and easy. :) I did spurge this weekend and bought one pair of pants from Old navy for a few reasons 1 they were on sale. 2 they are size 20 and I was in a 26-28. And 3 they are SKINNY jeans! I don't think I've ever fit into anything "skinny" in my life! Lol

Women's sizes are so crazy inconsistent anyway that it just makes it even harder to ever know what size to get! On top of that, I find each time I lose weight that I carry it differently than when I was that same weight before and so I can't wear the same clothes. It really is nuts. I agree - go to Goodwill or somewhere like that, try things on and buy just a few things that you won't mind donating back in a few weeks when you are down another size or so.

I agree with the above statements go try on clothes, I bought clothes in different sizes and recently just got into s large dress and shirts. I wear large yoga pants now, Imam only investing in dress I have hid away in pants for to long, the only pants I want to own is yoga pants to work out in.

I'm guessing at your height and weight you are now a 1x in tops and an 18-20 in pants. Congrats!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
