size ? How many have you gone down?



Recommended Posts

I went from a 22/24 in Lane Bryant sizes to a size 10 in Gap!!! I agree with others. The sizes didn't really start going down quickly until I got into the smaller sizes. Goal is an 8 but I don't think I'm going to make that one. I'm almost 5'10" so an 8 might be too small!

I'm kinda like you. 112 lbs gone, and I've gone from a tight 28 to a 22, almost 20. It seems it takes a long time to drop sizes at the higher weights, but it'll go faster at the lower weights. I pretty much skipped 24s altogether. It's strange how it happens...

It is my yo-yo experience that a person will lose or gain one size for every10 pounds, so to go from a 20 to an 18 you would need to lose 20 pounds. I have lost 60 pounds and went from a 24 to a 18. This rule applies until you get below size 12 or 14 then it takes less weight loss to move sizes. I noticed that your weight loss has been significant but your size loss has not. This could be that larger sizes takes more weight to move sizes just like smaller sizes takes less or you are losing more muscle than you need to because muscle weighs more than fat. I hope the first is the case. Do you exercise regularly (3-5) days a week for 45-60 minutes? You have to ensure the weight loss is fat and not muscle. Congrats on your loss and keep up the good work. I should also say that I am 6 foot tall so the above experience may not apply to everyone.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
