Clothing Sizes?



Recommended Posts

Have any of you early December bandsters already seen a drop in clothing sizes?

I have already noticed a big change in how some of my shirts that were tight before are loose now. My belts I am on my last notch and all of my pants I need a belt for now which I didn't need on most just a couple of months ago. There is a couple of pairs of pants that I have that I had stopped wearing and now I can wear them again. It feels great!!!

Definitely. I'm down two sizes. Yippee!!

And I've had a quick look through my closet and think I can go down another two sizes before I have to start buying clothes.

That is totally awesome! I know my shirts are not as tight, but I"m way to early I think to actually drop a size. But I can't wait.

That's great! I have some older clothes that I haven't worn in a long time that I might be able to wear with the weightloss but I will have to start buying some clothes for work before to long.

I've gone from a size 26 to a size 22 or 20 depending on where I'm buying my clothes. That being said if any women want any 3x tops jackets blazers or size 26 or 24 jeans slacks shorts dresses. I have a slight shopping addiction hahaha so I have a ton of clothes I need to get rid of some still have the tags on them. i have about 3 boxes full of clothes. i don't want to sell them just give them away. I'm 5'10 so all my pants are on the longer side.

Sarah: That's great you want to give away your clothes. I'm going to do the same thing, except I'm going to keep one pair of pants as a reminder.

I'm going to donate mine to a women's shelter, when I've got enough stuff together.

Yesterday was my big day!!!! I finally fit into my pair of size 18 jeans that had been hanging up for over a year!! I didn't even have to suck in!!!!! I couldn't even get them past my thighs before surgery.....But I'm going to keep my size 24's as a reminder of where I will NEVER be again!

Has anyone measured themselves to keep track of how many inches you've lost???

Wow you guys are doing great. I had my first follow up with my Dr. on Monday and he is delighted with my lose of 3lbs (by his scale fully dressed) and I am delighted to say that I have FINALLY dropped belowe 300 lbs for the first time in 6 years. I am so excited. I look forward to my first fill on Jan 26th and can't wait to see what happens.

All of you are an inspiration for me to stay on track.

PS. I am on real food for the first time in 4 weeks. :)

I have gone from a tight 26/28 to a normal 22/24. It's nice. I am keeping my pants that are a size 26/28. The funny thing is I went to Lane Bryant this weekend to get a sweat suit set..and without thinking picked up a 26/28. Got home and they are WAY to big...have to take them back for sure. Some of my shirts are too big now too...those will turn into my sleep shirts!

      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.
