What is the smallest size clothing you have in your closet?

I still have a pair of jeans size 9 (i am 18/20) so I think they would fit a thigh if i cut out the crotch!

I got rid of all my small size clothes along time ago. I did give a pair of size 13 jeans to my daughter I used to wear in High School since she can wear them. She still has them and says she gets compliments on them all the time. I think I will ask for them back at some point just to see if I can get into them. I had a size 29 waist them. SIGH!! Those were the days.

Smallest size in mine is an 18 and right now I wear a size 22/24. So I hope I will get in and out of those 18's really quick.

I still have my prom dress which is a size 10... I might have to get that sucker out when I can wear it again and have a night out onthe town!!!!!

I haven't given up a good pair of jeans I wore golfing on my honeymoon. I think they are 14s. They were tight...I weighed 168 on my wedding day. Poor DH hasn't seen it since!

I'll have to go look, but I'm pretty sure I have a pair of size 9 jeans from my mid-twenties...I was living in TX and dating a tall dark and handsome cowboy type. He liked my butt in those jeans (remember Rockies, with no back pockets, wear them with Roper boots? All you Texans know about these things, or am I that behind the times...this was the mid-80's) Oh my gosh!!! That was 15 years ago!!!! Where, oh where, has my life gone? I weighed around 120-125. Hmpphh.

It will take a Tummy Tuck and thigh lift to get back, no matter how much weight I lose! I'll be happy in 12's that's for sure!

I don't have any of my clothes from when I was ever skinny--I remember the dress I wore to graduation from LPN school was a size 6-----ugh!

Right now I have some XL, 18's and some 16 tops that I can't fit my fat arms into--

My first pair of Calvin Klein jeans when they were the rage back in the 80's. It was right after I lost 50 lbs and they've got lycra, so I doubt I could get an arm in one of the legs, of these itty bitty jeans, LOL.

10 A beautifu, glorious, sexy cocktail dress that probably fits on my left thigh right now. But I'm keeping the faith. I wore it to a friends wedding 8 1/2 years ago. DH loves it. I was 148lbs then at 5'9" pretty dawn comfortable for me. AAAHHHHHHHH

those were the days. I think I'll go visit the closet now.

The smallest size I'd ever had before banding was a size 18 dress I got into briefly after a stint with Optifast.

NOW the smallest size thing I have that fits is a size 14 tank top from Avenue (which is really probably a 16 at least). I love buying in the teens!!

Hi ,

The smallest size I have is a 10-12 shirt. I wear 14 pants and large ladies tops off the rack at Marshalls, Dillards, Macy's etc, which is equivalent to 10-12. I dont have anything smaller in my closet at the moment, but I do have lost of stuff in 16's and a few 18's which I am swimming in , but wont throw out or give away.

Chloe left some of her jeans at my house. She's five. They are pretty tiny next to the 18s. I would be thrilled to wear a 16.

I have a pair of Levi's 505s size 8 and a couple 9/10 Rockies that USED to fit, a pair of kick-butt tan suede pants in size 10, and some cute black pants from INC in size 10. Not to mention tons of kicken' boots I can't wear because my feet are so swollen. Some day tho - those cute clothes will be on my bod and not just hanging in my closet collecting cat hair. I hate looking in my closet and seeing what fits [--] and what doesn't [------------------]. Grrrr! angry.gif

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      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. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
