Sizes post op

[briae13 46]

So yesterday I bought a 'goal' dress, not something I normally do, but it was too beautiful to pass up and I'm just sick of telling myself "no". I'm currently a size 26/28 and the dress is a size 20. Wanted to see how others changed in sizes during their journey so I can gauge a realistic goal of how far out post op I want to be able fit into my first nsv goal.

I started at a size 24/26 - I'm 5'10" and the majority of my weight is in my lower half. I'd say I was at a size 20 around....6-7 months out? It really depends on the style of the dress though and how you lose. I lost a lot in my upper body first so it felt like it took forever for my pants size to finally start dropping. Good luck to you! You'll be in the dress before you know it

I started at a size 16. I'm 5'2.5"

I lost in my bottom half before I lost anywhere else. I was two sizes down within 3 months. I was a 14 in Lane Bryant shirts by the time May hit. I had my surgery in April of last year. Now I'm a small in shirts. That took about... 7 or 8 months. I haven't really tried on dresses yet. Too cold but I plan to once the weather breaks.

But like the previous person said, it depends on where you lose and how the dress is made or cut. Some of these clothes are made weird as far as the sizing standards go.

I think I'll buy a size 16 - maybe at Goodwill, hang it up so,i can be inspired. Shame you can't put a hex on it, if its true thinking and wishing will make. it happen it would b e easier losing weight.
