what size are you in after large loss??

[KayleighsMommy 16]

I am now officially down 100 pounds and have only gone down 3 pants sizes (from a womans 32 to a 26).

I am wearing a 18-20 top (as well as it is stretchy, and short... <so it does not have to fit over my belly>)

It is so frustrating to still be wearing such a large size. :thumbup:

It is because of my very large pannus. Anyone else with this problem??

If so... any suggestions???

For a few months later this year and early next, I'm going to have to dress for a tummy as I need to have a temporary ileostomy.

I've bought myself some HOT maternity jeans, lol. they fit me nicely everywhere else and allow softness over the tummy so as not to squeeze the hardware I'm going to have attached to me.

Surprisingly, I find that even with a super flat stomach, maternity pants are very comfy and stay up! And no muffin top. I might be onto something here.

Personally, I think that with a pannus, this would be a good idea - certainly way better than buying to fit your tummy and having your legs swathed in yards of extra fabric?
