I started at a 56 waist. Just bought a pair of 48's. I don't really know my "ideal." I'd like to hit a 38 but I can be happy at a 40.

I was a 46x30, now I'm a 32x30! I started to have to wear a belt with my 32x30 jeans, maybe gonna drop one more size. 3 more pounds to lose and my BMI will say healthy, for the first time in 20+ years!

I am 6'0" tall and large framed.

I was wearing a 50/52 and am presently wearing 40/42 pants (woo-hoo, I can buy this size in any store).

36" right now, down from a high of a tight 44" in just 7 short months.... I would be ecstatic to get down to a 34". changing sizes is fun, but very expensive!!!

life is good!

My highest was 66 waist now depending on the style and cut (meaning enough room for my thighs & glutes) I'm between 40 & 42. I want to be a 34-36 consistently.

36 or 38 would be fine for me. i don't remember last time i was at that, probably when i played sports. was as high as 54/56 so this is all house money at this point (44 now)

If I go by the link to that Men's Health article with the 2:1 ratio then 36" would be my ideal. Good number to shoot for then

I couldn't find the link to the Men's Health article. Do you mind posting it?

When I started out, I was wearing a size 46 waist, and it had to be the stretch elastic waist band.....otherwise a 48 and they were not comfortable.

Now, I can wear anything in a size 33"...and I prefer slim cut......

I can fit in a 32", but they have to be a loose cut and they feel too baggy through the seat and legs.....so 33" slim in both dress and jeans.

Also, my inseam is only 30"....do you know how difficult is it to get 46" comfort waist in a 30" inseam? Had to search the web to buy them online.

      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.
