Down how many dress sizes



Recommended Posts

I'm definitely still a work in progress.

the left is my highest weight a year and a half ago, 442. I was a size 32 jeans and a 3x/4x top.

the right is current, 277. I'm at the lower end of size 24, and a 2x/sometimes xl top.

You look great! :)

You look amazing!!

Update! http://imgur.com/NOpEeIs

In less than two weeks, I will be nine months out from surgery. There are about 160 pounds and 10-11 pant sizes between the pictures! 2 more pounds and I will have lost 200 pounds from my highest. Surreal! Keep up the amazing, inspiring work everyone! <3

Wicked if I may ask... Do you have excess skin?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sorry, just realized I never replied to your question.

I do have excess skin. Not as bad as I thought I would have (nothing like the TV show Tight Skin, in other words) but I do want to have plastic surgery to remove excess skin from my arms and legs (my stomach is okay). I also need a breast lift!

I'm much happier now, excess skin and all, than I was when I weighted 300 lbs.

Sorry, I don't wear dresses ;) BUT, I've gone from men's 5XL to a men's Med. :o ...it just doesn't seem like I am me anymore at all.

I was in a 24 or 26 size dress at my highest. (I had a size 26 dress that I adored and just got rid of begrudgingly. There was a time when it was actually a little tight.) Today (11 months post-op and 16 1/2 months from beginning the whole journey), I bought a size 12 dress. I feel so skinny in it! I can't even believe it fits! :)

Thankfully no, Just in the tummy area. I would love to get a Tummy Tuck. No amount of sit ups or crunches gets rid of loose skin!lol

      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.
