Ladies, What Size Jeans Do You Wear?



Recommended Posts

@ Your transformation is amazing! One of my NSV's was to see "daylight" between my thighs. I see daylight in your picture!

Thanks! I honestly didn't expect my legs to shrink so much. My legs and butt have always been a size smaller than my waist so I never focused on them.

It's the most bizarre feeling to not have my legs rub together when I walk. I've always been overweight and my legs have always rubbed together so it's quite foreign to me.

You will get there very soon!! Take monthly pictures. I remember the month I "saw the light". I squealed with joy.

I, too, no longer have a big fat ass or big thighs. And you can also see daylight between my legs. My bottom half never looked like this before. :)

@ I'm pretty jealous you can see daylight between your thighs! I will never get that, since I carry so much of my weight in my thighs/legs. I was, however, super excited recently that I can get my hands all the way around my thigh just above my knee now! Just barely touching the tips of my middle fingers and thumbs, but I can do it!

Do you truly plan on a Tummy Tuck in the future? I had one 4 years ago and it was rough, but well worth it! I love love love my flat stomach!

Weight: 130 pounds

Height: 5' 7"

Pants size: 6, 7, 8 (so many different brands vary in their sizing that I tend to fit all three right now)

I'm quite curvy as well. I could not possibly fit into a size 2 or 4 at this point because of my hips.

I am trying to put a few pounds back on because I'm quite tired of buying new clothes and can't afford to replace all my pants. Plus, my face has started to look a little skeletal. This was not the healthy look I was going for.

Most definitely! I knew going in I would need a tummy tuck but I really want a breast lift too. This morning I was 172.2 so I'm only 12 pounds from my goal weight. It's so weird. I still feel really big and I think a bit part of it is my loose skin. I won't be able to get one for at least a year or two.

I had a breast lift with augmentation at the same time as my tummy tuck and it is fantastic! Plastics are no joke. The recovery time and pain is MUCH more significant than WLS, but the results are so worth it in the long run.

Weight - 212

Jeans - 16

Height - 5'4"

I was my highest at 263 pounds, just managing to be comfortable in an 18, would have soon had to buy a 20 and I absolutely REFUSED. I only just bought new pants (I avoided it forever because I don't want to waste money on clothes that won't fit soon lol) and the 16 is kind of loose.

Weight - 230

Jean Size - "Regular" 14

Height - 5' 11.5"

What's weird - I've weighed 230 during previous diet attempts and wasn't in a size 14. Either vanity sizing is getting worse or maybe I have more muscle this time around. I have no idea....

LOL! This is so funny! Only we would understand about a goal of seeing light between your legs when you're standing! It amazes me to see that now. Before I would think the friction was going to start a fire, especially in jeans!! I started in a size 26 at 321 pounds! :)

Ht: 5'9"

Wt: 176

Jeans: Size 6-8 depending on brand and cut

Tops: M

I've always wondered about this myself! My stats:

5'8

248 lbs

18/20 bottoms

20/22 tops with sleeves

I know when I was around 210 lbs (the lowest I weighed in my adult life), I was a 14. I'm hoping that will still be the case!

      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! 😞

      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.
