How many sizes down R U?



Recommended Posts

Went shopping about a week ago and was very pleased to buy some slacks in a 14 petite! Before surgery I was in an 18/20 womens. I am only 5'3" and it always seemed that the clothing manufacturers assumed anyone in plus sizes was also 6' tall! Nice not to have to get my pants hemmed :woot:

I can't do petites in tops as I am a bit top heavy, but bought some shirts in a Large Misses size. Also got some jeans in 14 misses --- based on the loose way they fit I think I could maybe get away with a 12 misses in pants. I still tended to gravitate toward XL stuff in tops, but once I tried them on I was pleased to find they were too big on me :thumbup:

Congrats on your great success TSB! I am just starting the process, but my stats are very close to yours. Same height and same goal weight but I am about 10 lbs over your starting weight.

I am more "compact" on the bottom and currently wear a 16 or 18 in jeans and dress pants but am "well endowed" on top and usually a 2x or 3x in shirts and jackets.

Hope you don't mind if I follow your progress!

I've gone from 18/20 women's jeans to size 14 misses. Can't believe I can actually shop in any store I want to now.

I LUV MY BAND.:willy_nilly:

I am down from a 22 to a 6. Is that 8 sizes? I don't know how it's counted. (oops, I realized later that you all were banded at the same time. I have to watch carefully where I post)

I started on Oct. 23, 2009. I went from a size 26 to an 18/20. Soon to move to a size 16 because I can NOT wait to be able to go into a store and pick from the normal clothing rack instead of the WOMENS sizes. It's been many years since I have been able to do that. I've already told my husband we are having a size 16 party when I get there. I've also lost 29lbs since surgery.

Congratulations to you.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
