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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
