Recommended Posts

I know that this is a crazy question because every BODY is different, but I am thinking towards the future and buying something to fit into by Christmas.

So, how much did you weigh when you were wearing an 18? Or a 16, 14 etc....

I am being banded on Sept 21 at Central DuPage Hospital by Dr Vallina and am so excited over what is to come!

Now is a great time to shop for next summer. All of the summer clothes are on sale now and you're probably going to be close to your goal by next summer.

Something exciting to think about.......

I love my band and my new flat tummy.

While I was loosing I would buy the current size plus clothes in size 14 and 12. My starting size was size 26/28 and I'm wearing 12's and 14's now. I bought alot of "slightly used" clothes because I couldn't afford all brand new.

Best wishes to you and have fun shopping!

At five foot ten, and 150lb I wear a US 8 to 10, depending on the item. I can wear size 6 tops and jackets.

At 200 lb I was wearing a 12 to 14 and at 245 I was a good size 16-18.

Everyone's different, I seem to be quite "large", I've got pretty wide hip bones I think.

I am now 223, I am an XL or 18/20 pants, and same for tops.

Looking forward to it going further down. When I had surgery 30 lbs ago, I was a 2x in everything, and when converted to numbers was pushing a 22/24.

I am 5'6" and 194 and fit into size 14/16 pants (depending on the pants) and Large tops. I don't buy many clothes as I drop the weight but I think I had size 20 pants at 230 or so and XL tops.

I`m 5' 2" and weigh 226#s after a 6 LB loss, and I wear a size 20.

I do have my 1st goal outfit hanging on the door of my closet.

It is a size 10 ( and ohhh, do they look small) pair of jeans, and a CAbi jean jacket in a size M.

I'm not sure if you have heard of CAbi clothing, but they are a high quality line of home party clothing that only go up to a size 16 (I am grrrrrr-ing:mad: right now as I think about this!), and I have a neighbor that use to sell it. She often had parties and new season line previews at her house and would always invite me, In fact she did her best to recruit me into selling it as well. Can you imagine, trying to sell something I couldn't even fit into???

Anyway, I LOVED the clothes, but never could buy anything.

However I had my eye on a certain jean jacket from a line about 4 years ago, and actually bought it via ebay about 2 years ago *just because*... "someday".

Well someday is near, and I will be wearing it soon, and any other CAbi piece I want!

Gosh, does that seem like a dream.

Sorry for the rambling, but I thought that maybe others understood the "Goal Outfit" thing.

At 213 lbs, I wore sizes 16/18.

At 200 lbs. I wore sizes 14/16.

At 190's, I wore a size 14.

At 180's, I wore a size 12.

At 170's, I wore a size 10.

Currently 165 lbs. and I wear sizes 8/10.

For me, every 10 lbs. equated to a size...I am thankful that my body can carry a lot of weight. My sister -in-law weighs 135 lbs. and we wear the same size. Like you said, everyone is different.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

It's interesting to see how different bodies fit the same size. I used to work at Lane Bryant and was always fascinated by the radically different looking people who would all buy a size 18.

for me, i'm 5'5

250 lbs = sz 20

235 = 18

220 = 16

190/200 = 14

      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.
