I'm 5'6"

241 pounds

I haven't been clothes shopping yet. I have 3x scrub pants that I wear to work but they're HUGE! My 2x scrub pants and almost too big.

I have size 22 jeans that I could barely squeeze into before surgery and now I can slip them off without unbuttoning or unzipping.

I'm waiting to lose a little more before I go start trying stuff on.

I'm 5'2" and started at 304 lbs and was in a very tight size 22 (I should have been wearing 24). The 22's are now getting baggy and I think another 10 lbs I will try to get into some 20's.

Started at 5'7", 240 pounds, and snug size twenty-two. Now at 145 and this week I bought a pair of size 9/10 Wrangler Q Baby jeans. AND the size 7/8 fit everywhere but the waist, which gave me a slight muffin top. 7/8. I thought I was dreaming when the 9/10 zipped up!

I am also 5'1 but I weigh 240!!! Yikes! I haven't worn jeans or pants without a size of large or extra large so I have no clue what size I am. If I had to guess, probably a 22?

When i had the surgery i was in a tight 22/24. All my clothes had to be bought at Torrid, lane bryant and avenue. Now i wear a very baggy 12. So i am starting to try on 10s. I have went from 3x to a medium! A great feeling is walking into one of those stores and asking for a 12 and they look at me crazy ( well kinda with a dirty look and attitude) and say we don't sale that size here! Btw... I am 5'4.

      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.
