When did you get your ring resized?

I finally got my actual wedding ring sized. It was a size 8 when we got married. I was able to wear it for several years, and then I sized it to a 9 and wore it for a few more years. But once I went up to a 10, I started to wear a plain men's band.

Now that I'm done losing weight, I finally got it sized to a 5, although I could realistically wear a 4 1/2, but I would never get it over my knuckle. I can juuuuust barely get the 5 over my knuckle, so at least I know it won't come off.

I have to be honest, it looked smaller when my hand was bigger lol Now that my hand is a lot smaller and bonier, the stones look A LOT bigger, which is kind of weird lol I definitely wasn't expecting that.

Wow a 5?! I should check mine too. I have a size 8 and I take it off at night and when I go to the gym because Im afraid it will fly off. I keep telling my guy time for an upgrade lol

Even in high school, when I was at my smallest, my ring size was a 6. My wrists are so small right now that I can't even wear a normal sized Bracelet. I used to be able to in high school, and that was my goal again, but now my wrist is too small. Just like now my fingers are so small I can't buy standard sized rings in the store lol That's what I wanted to be able to do again, and now I'm right back to having to buy specialty sizes again...just on the other end of the spectrum.

pro tip: for those JUST entering maintenance, you *may* want to hold off off on resizing your "important" rings...as you will most likely go through an "upswing" in the weight/size department. you also may not, but who knows???

my engagement/wedding rings where a size 6 and 7 respectively.

when i hit my lowest weight, i was below the lowest of the ring measurement paraphernalia i had....so i actually dont know what size i was. at around 3-4 years post op, i was a 4....today, (almost 6 yr pi) i am aaaaaalmost a 5.

i still haven't had my engagement/wedding rings resized, but mostly out of laziness...but i figure someday i will.

anyway....long story short: maybe wait a year at most to do the deed and resize the important rings. unless u dont care about having to likely resize them again later, go for it!

i myself am going to look into those resize bead things....

😊

      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.
