I was a tight size 26 and 3X at my surgical consult, and I slipped into a pair of size 14 jeans today. L/XL on shirts. I've attached a pic of the size 26 pants I wore to my surgical consult. They were so tight, they have permanent crease marks and the button busted (they were held closed by a big safety pin). I've also attached a pic of me in the size 14s, the same ones laid over the size 26s. I'm only eight weeks post-op, and I can't recall eve being smaller than a size 12 in my entire teen/adult life, so I'm moving into uncharted territory. So crazy!!!

Your results are amazing! Are you doing everything to the letter? What does your exercise plan look like? What are u eating? Girl you are doing the damn thing and definitely renewed my desire to have the procedure.

I started my journey as a band patient - lost 90 pounds in about 16 months. I was a size 22 pants & 2-3X shirts. I hated it!

In December, I averaged a size 12 pants & Medium / Small tops

Converted to the sleeve on Jan 16th so I'm only 15 days post op

I'm down another 14 pounds

Size 10 pants

S / M tops

The irony is that I had breast reduction about 4 years ago. Best thing I ever did as I was OVER a DD bra size. I could sling those babies over my shoulders. Totally hated them. All this pre-surgery!

After surgery, I was a lovely C cup. However, now that I've lost a total of 104 pounds, I'm a size B. Yes, a size "B" cup, oh my!!! :o

This is part of why I'm getting the sleeve now. I want a breast reduction and the dr told me to do the wls first and see where I land. I hate having boobs.

i was bigger than a uk 38 (us 36) if it was fixed waistband and just fit if it was elasticated.

now i can fit into elasticated waistbands from a size 10uk like leggings etc fixed coz of the skin 16/18uk

dresses i do a 16/18uk.

My update: As of today, my size 14's stopped laughing at me when I tried to get into them! I wore size 14 Levi's all day and felt quite accomplished! Can't wait to fit into my 12's again. Its been a good 12 years since I have done that! The sleeve gives me hope and is keeping the wind in my sails! :)

I've enjoyed reading this tread! Congrats to everyone for such great work and results!

In January of 2013 at 325 lbs I was squeezing into a size 24W and now 95lbs lighter I wear a 16W pants and an L or XL on top. I only want to lose another 10 lbs (I'm very tall 6' 1& 3/4") so I don't think I'll get much smaller. The Bra size was 44 GG (as in GOOD GOOD your boobs are so big!). LOL! Now I'm wearing 38 G but I may need to go down a cup size. The girls have deflated quite a bit!

This is a great thread! I'm preop and have lost 25-27 (keep bouncing back and forth) but I can tell a difference already. My husband was walking behind me in Target and yelled out to me that my butt was smaller. Thanks, honey! But it is, and it feels so good! Can't wait to get to the other side of surgery. I can't fathom shopping in the "normal" sizes!

Pre-sleeve I was wearing a size 26 and 44DD bra. I hit 100 lbs lost this week. I wear a size 12 for most things, have a few size 10 dresses and the bra size is down to a 34C. My goal is to wear a size 8 (my daughter took me out to buy the "Goal wardrobe" after the surgery)

      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.
