How many sizes have you dropped?!?

[rensterness 375]

Figured instead of counting and focusing on just the pounds we could take a look at our sizes as a way to encourage each other and motivate ourselves and others. I am a bit over three and a half months out and feeling great!

Pant Size Day of Sleeve: 40 and 42

Current Size Pants: 30

Shirt Size Day of Surgery: xxl

[endless80 697]

I used to wear a size 50 pants and now, as of yesterday I am in a size 38.

[indecision 863]

At my largest which was 418 pounds

4XLT Shirts and 54 pants

Today 219 Pounds

Large Shirt

36 Pants but I think I may be a 34 as the 36's are slightly loose.

[Bufflehead 6,358]

At my initial surgery consult I was wearing a 34/36 (yes that is a real size) or 6X - maybe a 5X on a "good" day. I'm now in a size 16 bottom and an XL top. Got a ways to go but so far, so good!

[Fiddleman 4,376]

Start pant size: 48

Started out 4 yrs ago in a size 22 jeans. 3x tops. Now i'm a 7/8 jeans (A few 6's fit, but mostly 7/8s), Xl top. I've lost almost 100 lbs - with about 18 to go!

[Comfy_Blue 285]

Hmm, let's see. At my heaviest I was about 246lbs and wearing a sz 20(some of my pants were sz 22) and squeezing in several too tight size 18s.

Currently I am wearing a size 16 pants (almost in a 14 because my sz 16 skinny jeans are starting to sag and keep sliding down even when I wear a belt). So how many sizes down is that, like 2 or 3? I started my journey back in November and was sleeved Dec 23, so going from a 20/22 to a loose 16 is amazing,

I am able to wear some large shirt (was in tight 1x's and some snug 2x's). Now most 1x's are much too big or very loose and bulky.

I am very well endowed, so when i wear a large i feel a little self conscious because it fits my torso well but hugs the "girls" (who haven't slimmed down at all) and makes them look really big

My husband loves it.

I too am very well endowed. Worried I will loose a lot off the girls after surgery. My husband said that would be ok he guesses. We will just have to see how it goes. I wear your before sizes now and hope to have the same type progress you're having in a few months

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!!!

[Chimera 644]

Wore 3,4,5X on top - 2-3X pants prior to vsg - Now I am firmly in the land of medium, some smalls - pants anywhere from a 2 to an 8, tops are medium - though small and small/petites also fit depending on the manufacturer.

[NewSetOfCurves 1,553]

Size 18 / 20 tops and bottoms or 2x/3x tops

Now Small/Medium tops or 8/10 pants. Depends on hip and leg room, I have a small waist and generous hips and thighs. All my pants fit huge at the waist and perfect in those other areas. But I'll take that problem any day!

Oh ladies!!! I wish I was able to keep some of my girls! I was at heaviest at 42DDD, an F when Pregnant 3 years ago. Now sadly I have no bra's that fit and am about a 38/40 C. And I'm only 5 months out. I still have 20-30 pounds to go! I know doesn't sound to bad except they look like F'n pancakes hangin there....... It's a sad thing for me. lol I always had over sized "Girls" even when I was thin. Now I'll go cry in the corner!

[sophiepants 489]

WOW everyone is doing so great!!

For me my pant size was a 20. At one time I also wore a 22 for a little bit. 5 months out I ware a size 11-12.

Shirt size was 1-2x, now I'm in a Large/Medium and I still have 20-30 pounds to go.

[planetheather 137]

Wow! Great (and inspirational) posts! My HW was 275 and I was a 24/26 in pants. The "girls" were 42DDD. I'm 4 1/2 months post op today and the girls are 36DD and I'm wearing medium sweats from Walmart. Jeans--good heavens, when did jeans get SO complicated?? I've been to Old Navy, Levis and Target. At Target I'm a 10. At Old Navy I'm a 32 "Sweethear" --who the hell even knows what that is. At Levis, I got a bootcut 14 (which I assure you, did not endear me to them). But I love knowing that I'm shopping without the "W" any more!
