Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I just bought my first pair of size 16 pants



Recommended Posts

They are off white corduroy so they don't have a lot of stretch to them either. I saw them in the store on clearance and I just had to have them. Most of my 18's were a little roomy so I figured i would see about graduating although I know sizes run different in different stores. I did not try them on in the store because I hate trying on stuff. When I got home, I took them out of the bag and held them up. I was like "oh Lord, girl what were you thinking?. There is no way you are getting your butt in those skinny jeans". I was going to just bag them back up and take them back but the voices told me to try them to see if they could at least clear my butt. Not only did they clear my butt, but they zipped and as soon as the weather gets back cold here in VA, I will be wearing my size 16 pants to work. I'm so happy. I never imagined this day.

Woohoooo!!! :clap2:

I loved being that size!! I still have a whole box of my 16's and 18's and can't wait to one day fit back into them!! I think 14/16 was my favorite size to be.. still had some meat on me, but felt really healthy.

GO GIRL GO GIRL!! :eek:

I know the feeling!!! On my surgery date I was a 22/24 sometimes 26/28 in shirts..... here I am... 6 weeks and a little over 25 lbs out... and I'm loving the fact that I can squeeze into a size that starts with a one! I didn't think I'd love being an 18 as much as I do....and people at work are starting to notice. Someone came over to me and said, wow, you are looking great. I was sooooooo happy, all day, smiling from ear to ear. :eek:

Good going girl! It feels great to pick something up off the rack and try it on only for it to fit like a glove. Pretty soon you will be in 14's even better.

I think I am on my way to 16's too! I am too scared to go try them though! I just bought a pair of juniors size 19 and I can pull the down without unbuttoning or unzipping them. Congrats to you!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
