fern 195 Posted April 4, 2011 So. It's been 5 weeks since surgery. I know I've lost lots of weight ( 49lbs to be exact). But I wasn't sure of how much pants wise. I've been dreading going because I really wanted to be out of the 20's for pants but wasn't sure if that could happen. You see, I gave up non stretchy pants long ago and went into xl ( mostly xxl) yoga type pants. I did have 1 pair of 24/26 jeans with a bit of stretch in them. I was so afraid I'd be dissapointed with my success so far and I really didn't want that. So I picked out some 18s and so 20s and off I went. They were too big!!!!!! I bought 2 pairs of jeans today. BOTH in SIZE 16!!!!! Holy crap!!!! I jumped up and down, did a little dance, then cried. I then heard a little old lady knock on my door to ask if I was okay! Oh I'm so happy!!!!!!!

You should have invited the little old lady into the dressing room to admire your new shape! Just think....the numbers are only going to go down from here! :waytogo: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lanette 124 Posted April 5, 2011 Whoo hoo! Had a similar experience in my closet Sunday. I put on a pants suit for church that I knew was a size 18 I had kept from a million years ago. The top had a little wiggle room but the pants were snug....zipped up but not that comfy. Decided to wait a week and try again. Then when I took them off I noticed I had the wrong pants and they were 16's!!! I totally cried too! I found the matching pants and wore that size 18 bad boy with comfort and wiggle room! Got to love those NSV's!! SO happy for you and your size 16 self!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
