At my highest weight of 360 I could only wear a 26/28 from Lane Bryant if it had a lot of stretch in it I was 54" around the waist and 64" around my lower abdomen...at my starting weight of 335 I was wearing a size 26 jeans comfortably.

At my current weight of 253 I am wearing a size 20 jeans and size 1X top. I'm 41" around the waist and 53" around the lower abdomen.

My highest weight 267 I was wearing 22/24 even started buying 3x Lane Bryant too. Now at 208lbs I'm loosing inches fast too. I'm wearing 12/14 pants and 12/14 tops. Looks like Belly fat may be last and a TT is needed later.

I started at size 13/14 pants. Bought 1 or 2 pair of 15/16 which is when I said I had to do something. shirts were large & xlarge. Since surgery, I'm now wearing 5/6, shirts small. Been having fun shopping and just decided to try 3/4 pants. While i was able to get into a few of them, depending on the brands some were too tight. I'm actually hoping to plateau @ 5/6, but I won't complain if I continue to shrink if i continue to be healthy. I'm only 8 mons post op & know the weight is still dropping. i was told for my 5' height & body type I should weigh 107. So whenever i reach 107, I'll probably go down another size or 2. Either way, I'll continue to have fun shopping as its been years since I was able to shop without buying stuff to "try" to camouflage my midsection.

That is awesome!! Shopping does not feel like a chore anymore. It is fun to try on the latest styles that does not feel like someone cut the fabric from some left over curtains from a garage sale.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
