Prior to my VSG I swore I would never wear skinny jeans. The couple times I tried them on in the past was not a joyful experience. If I was lucky enough to get them above my calves they did nothing for my figure. I would wiggle around trying to get them on and then feel like an udder shame when I looked in the mirror. I was solidly a boot cut jean type of girl.

Well..... I not only found a pair that fit but I love the way they look on my figure. Also, I'm wearing white! White is not a forgiving color, I've always been a black/dark solids girl but not anymore!

Congratulations... great results...

Same here, now I went down to size 36, and had to buy slim fit pants so they last longer through my last 60 lbs to loose

Keep it going..

I had the same NSV. I always wear leggings because my body is curvy and i'm short so it's hard to find jeans for myself. But also, since I had gained a lot of weight, I did not want to know what size my pants actually were so I never went to go buy jeans. But since I've been losing weight, I was feeling more confident and decided to go buy a pair of jeans. I had one pair before surgery and I was a size 18. I went to Old Navy maybe 2 weeks ago and I was a size 14 (stretchy jeans but still...) lol then I saw a pair of white slacks I bought from Express a couple years ago (size 12) and I thought, let's see how these fit so I know when I might fit into a size twelve soon...they zipped up and buttoned, a little tight but they actually fit. I dropped 3 pant sizes and I'll be 3 months post op on the 14th of this month. How awesome are we?

It feels great doesn't it? I'm 9 months post op and I've gone from a snug 22 to a comfortable 12/14 depending on brand. It's so strange to me to go to straight size stores and be able to find stuff to buy.

I've always been a jeans girl, even at my highest weight though moving into those 22 was hard as hell, I've never been comfortable in leggings but it was getting so hard to find a good pair of jeans and expensive too that I started wearing leggings last fall. My favorite Lane Bryant jeans set me back 80.00 a pair. These jeans cost me 11.00 at Sears and they are so comfortable.

OMG thank you for saying that. I'm having huge self esteem issues with my stomach because I have loose skin on my upper belly and it creates a muffin top depending on what I wear. I never view myself as having a flat tummy. That made my day!

I do not see a muffin top at allllll and even if I could it wouldn’t change how amazing you look!! Remember where you came from to where you are this minute- you kicked fats ass and that picture right there is proof!!! You’re my hero!

I actually wore leggings last week and didn't feel fat! Wouldn't wear them before the weight loss because I was too lumpy!

Thank you so much! It's really true. I look back at my old pictures and I'm like "how did I ever let myself get to that place?" How did I not see I was that big. It's funny how out mind plays tricks on us. For years it didn't allow me to see how big I was and now that I've lost 100+ pounds I look in the mirror and still see my old self. Everyday is a lesson!

You look great!

You go girl!

Love these nsv! Prior to becoming pregnant, I was in a size 2 jeans. Before surgery: a size 28! Being able to wear a belt was amazing as well. Being able to tuck in a shirt is amazing. Also, being able to go to the doctor with no shame. Stepping on the scales confidently.
