Kate rules 43 Posted May 9, 2012 At consult 205 size 20 low rise pants. Would have been higher if regular rise. Currently rocking a size 6 at 142 pounds. Again, low rise because I have a big waist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tex411 10 Posted May 14, 2012 It depends where u carry your weight. I'm 5'7" starting at 314 in a 24 march 19 Pre op started. Surgery 4/2 and I'm down 30 pounds in a 20. Because I carry most of my weight in my butt then I can drop jeans pretty quick. But any size decrease is a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ccsbulldog 59 Posted June 11, 2012 When I was pre-op (Dec 2011) and at 256 wearing a tight 22 bottom, 2x top - I'm 5'2" Today, I weigh 212 and wear an 18 but still in a 2x top - because of my middle section, completely too big in the shoulder area. It's very interesting that someone my same weight and wear such a smaller size. I guess height does play into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluetigereyes 95 Posted June 14, 2012 I just have to say, I havent bought any new clothes since I started this journey. However, all my pants are getting VERY big on me (They are all 20-22's). So, I decided to clean out my closed/drawers and have 3 HUGE bags of pants that are all too big. This is great, except I needed some new pants. So, I went to Old Navy last night and grabbed a pair of 18's, tried them on and even those were too big. So, I tought, there is NO WAY that I can be down to a 16......but I tried some on anyway and they fit! not only did they fit, they looked great! I am so happy.....I can fit into a 16 again. I havent seen a 16 in over 8 years!!!!! 2 RenaeP77 and adorkbl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
