Recommended Posts

I can "fit" into quite a few different sizes! I am still wearing my before surgery pants, though I did have to get rid of 2 pr. My point is...I could pour, squish, squirm and tuck my way into my size 18 pants, 30 pounds lighter and I still wear them because they are baggy and comfortable, I don't have those awful pink indentation lines in my tummy after a day's work anymore! lol

I am 5'3 and currently 199 (happy to be in ONEderland)! :)

The mere thought of being able to shop in a store without a plus sized section is exciting and incredibly daunting at the same time. I literally do not ever remember shopping for myself at a place that didnt carry plus sizes, or weighing under 200lbs.

On another note, I have gotten the impression that your feet shrink as well?

That sucks, cuz I have close to 90 pair of shoes!

230 - 16/18 - 1X tops

195 - 14 - Large tops

165 - 10 (mostly) - Large tops

I can wear any size 12 pants now at 182 and 5'6"

I wore a 14 when I hit one-derland

I starter in a 22/24 at 285

My "goal size" is a 7/8 -what weight do you guys think that would be? When I was MUCH much younger I was in a 5 at 138 lbs., I'm not ever planning to be that small again

Wow, this really helped me because I'm having such issues with my weight loss and visualizing sizes.

I just dipped below 250 (it's not thin but is nice to say I'm 247!) and I'm in an 18. I have already bought a size 16 and I'm hoping to get into that by Christmas. My tops are either an XL or 1X. The weight loss has slowed and I don't wear anything too tight, but I think every 20lbs or so for me is another size.

I actually had no idea there was a difference between 16W and 16. My husband purchased a pair of 16 and they barely fit. I guess it's the hips. BTW I'm about 223 now (no scale in house)

I started at 250 - size 22-24

Now 133 size 8

Funny how we can weigh the same but take different sizes.

I do not have one pair of shoes that fit properly! I have no idea what my real shoe size is! I actually think I might have a narrow width... It is hard to find them in a store to try on. But shopping in the "normal" section is a wonderful experience!

Love the avatar--I got it for the husband last year for Christmas as a plush toy (had to get it from eBay UK)

Back on subject--my 5'2" sisters, I think we are screwed!!! We have to get much smaller to get much smaller pants

I say we revolt!:thumbup:

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
