How Many Pounds Was It After Surgery Before Your Clothes Were Too Big?

Was it twenty pounds, thirty pounds before you were able to go into a smaller sizes pants? Since I'm top heavy my pants get smaller than the shirts. All booby, all the time I guess

I was noticing a change at 20 lbs, easy - but I have alot of abdominal fat. Depending on height, fat distribution, genetics (where you keep and shed your fat) and many other things people wil vary...

Don't be discouraged if you have to lose a bit for it to show in any one place - it will begin to show, I promise.

I think it depends on "clothes" as well! I was in lots of stretchy clothes so can still wear those. However noticed jeans and khaki's show bigger difference.

i carry my weight all over, like a watermelon (vs. apple or pear), so it was a good 30, maybe 40 lbs before i needed to go down enough to get a few new things. But, when I lost, I lost it from my wrists, arms, chest, back, tummy, legs, ankles, face, neck, etc.

I'm jealous of your all boobie all the time. I feel like that was the first thing to go.

At 100 pounds lost I rewarded myself with a beautiful opal and pink sapphire ring. At the next (and final) 100 pounds lost I think I'll reward myself with a boob job. Ha!

I am wondering about how many lbs. between sizes.

I've NEVER been below a size 14. Yes, NEVER. Sad, but true. So finally, I am 19 lbs away from goal and guess what? I'm a freak'n size 14. I know I am happy to be here instead of my heaviest 254/size 18. But how much do I have to lose to get to a size 10? Ok a 6-8?

I'm an apple shape. Totally hate it, but my girth at my belly is not small, even at my smaller sized self, I carry most of my weight through my "trunk".

Any ideas anyone on weight to size ratio? I know it depends on your body type, but ... I asked on MFP too and a couple of my girlfriends told me it's like a 5 lb. difference between a 6 and an 8. Really? I had no idea! I've always been 14 and up. Then someone said at 160 they were a size 6. Is that on average?

Curious minds wanna know ... so if possible, educate me here pls!

I hold my weight mostly in my trunk. I knew a girl who was an apple and was 140 and a size 6, at 5'4. For me at 250 I was a size 20 in jeans, a size 18 at 210, then at 190-200 I was mostly a size 13/14 some brands a like Beyonces brand I was a 16, at Lane Bryant the 14/16 tops would go on but were kind of big. There is a size difference between juniors, womens, and misses. I wore 1x tops, but my boobs were still big so if I had like C or D cups I might have fit into something smaller. So for me every 20 or so pounds I went down in jeans. However its hard to break it down once the body is in the 160's or 150s because even a tiny loss can change a size. I googled the size I wanted to be and asked at what weight should I be, and it varied between 125-145 (at the time I wanted to be a 6.)

Thanks Kiki V (just like on that Adam Sandler movie "just go with it" lol). I'm gonna get there, slowly but surely! and if not well, I look and feel much better than before - for sure!
