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.

      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.
