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!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
