How many pant sizes did you lose in a year?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery Aug. 19, went from an 18/20 to a 14 and this past week the 14s are getting too loose--I can take off my favorite jeans without unbuttoning/unzipping them. Yay new jeans.

I'm a size 14, originally a size 24. I'm also only at 6 months! My goal is to be a size 12, but I just hit Onederland today and I'm considering pushing for a sz 10. Goal is so close!

I don't know what size I was at a year out, but I went from a 26 to 5/6 in 18 months. You will be swimming in that size 10 dress before you know it!

Thanks to all you ladies I'm inspired and super excited! I guess I didn't realise how quickly the pants size went down!

I went from a size 22/3X to a size 6 pants, 8 or 10 top/dress, medium. I lost 120 pounds since surgery and I'm 5'10".

Sizing is so weird and I don't get hung up on the numbers and just try to find what looks best. It varies a lot by manufacturer. I bought an expensive blouse as an incentive piece of clothing and once it fit I hated how it looked on me, what a waste of money.

This was my experience with surgery. My high weight 254 I went from a 22/24 pants and XX large top.

Goal weight 140 in six months.to a size 3/5 pants and a small to a med top. depending on the designer. I'm now 2 1/2 years out. I maintain my weight in the 130's.

During weight loss I dropped sizes quickly. My husband would have to tell me to get new clothing. I went from a 22/24 to 16 in two months. I can't remember after that how many times changed sizes. But it was many times..lol

I never thought I would be this size even with surgery.

On a side note: I made a video of my loss. I used the photos that my hubby took of me each month to compare my weight loss. Some of the photos make me laugh. I didn't realize my clothing was too large. I needed to change sizes. I had no clue.

I've gone from 42" to 38" in 3 months. My 38's are starting to fit a bit loose, so it may be time to go and try on some 36's!!

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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.
