How many sizes did you lose?



Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled August 17th. I am a bridesmaid in a wedding exactly 2 months afterwards. Obviously, I had to pre-order my dress and that was the most difficult decision I had to make. What if I don't lose enough...what if lose too much....these questions still weigh on my mind.

How many sizes did you guys lose from about the time of the pre-op diet to 2 months out from surgery?

I am 12 weeks out and went down just about 2 sizes. No worries, they can alter your dress. You will be fine.

I just went back through my progress charts and I lost 48.8 pounds in the first 2 months. If I had to think back to that time, I started out in a size 20 and at that point (between thanksgiving and christmas of my first year) I was probably in a size 14.

I am 8 weeks out. Lost 40 lbs on my own, and 30 lbs since surgery. That is a total of 70 lbs. I have only went down one size.

Wow, such amazing progress. I only ordered my dress one size down from where I am now (there wasn't a dress in my size). I feel like I should be able to fit this dress by the time of my friend's wedding. I would hate to let her down, she knew I was having surgery and though I asked if she may have a backup choice to fill my spot she has stuck with me. She choose lace dresses so it would be much easier to alter down then it would be to alter up.

I don't know if you have experience with ordering dresses or if you have a large chest but I will give you my experience. I have a large bust and I lost about 30lbs before my wedding. My boobs did not get any smaller. I ordered a 14. When the dress arrived, it zipped over my stomach fine but that zipper was not going to meet when it got close to my boobs. My stomach was a 14, my boobs however were a 20. So they had to rush order another dress. Moral of the story is buy the dress to your bust, they can take in the stomach but cannot let out enough for your bust. I have the same issue now, I have lost around 50lbs since I started my sleeve journey and my boobs are still huge.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
