Still can't wear jeans.



Recommended Posts

8 days post op and I can't wear anything but pj's, sweat pants and yoga pants. How long did it take you to be comfortable in jeans?

I know that you don't want to hear this. I could've been in my jeans on day 1. My point is that everyone is different.

It took me a week or so to wear them a few hours. Slowly I was able to wear them longer Nad longer. Most days I can wear my jeans all day but there are days I cant. Sleeved 9/19

It was a couple of weeks for me. The problem was sitting- -jeans didn't come close to my lowest incision while standing, but they irritated it when sitting.

I was able to wear jeans from the first week, but my incisions are above my waistline (one in my belly button), so they aren't touched by the jeans.

Two weeks.

My incisions were very close to the waist line. I couldn't wear jeans for a good 4 weeks. After the incisions healed, I was able to wear them again. By that point, they were too big ;-). Fortunately, I had some smaller ones from my "old closet."

I am living in LulaRoe leggings and yoga pants.

What size are you? I got some TC leggings and one pair is tight as all, and the others ripped on the butt. Like. Big rips. I'm an 18 so I don't get it - everywhere online says they go to a 22 and some people say 24 can fit. They're so soft!!

I also had an umbilical hernia repaired at the same time my sleeve was done.

I waited 3 weeks before wearing belted pants.

Loose fitting gym clothes where my norm from the hospital until that 3 week mark.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
