We are about the same everything, my surgery was 6/24 and I started at 239 lbs.. I am now 182 and just had to buy new undies.  I got fruit of the loom bikinis in a size 7 and they fit perfectly.  8 pr for about 10 dollars at wal mart.

I think I'll buy 7 or 8... definitely like the tip about getting 8 pr for $10 at Walmart.  Gonna make a trip there this weekend for some!

 Wow...this is something I never considered - thanks for posting!! I've bought the Cacique underwear for so long just because it was easy - whatever pants size I'm in, get one size smaller in the panties and it worked for me. Jeez... I forgot that non-plus sized clothing doesn't work the same way. Funny the "little" things that we may not consider - as a pre-op, that's not something I'd even thought about! 

Congratulations to you on the baggy panties! :)

I hadn't really thought about it either... until I felt them bunching up.  And for a few days, I was clueless... thinking what the heck is up!?  Well, hello!  I've lost several sizes.  Shirts, pants and bras aren't the only things that are needed in new sizes.

I think I'll cry the day my feet shrink too much and I have to say good-bye to all my shoes.  *sniff*

 But think about all the fabulous NEW shoes you will have to buy to replace the old ones!!!! (From a fellow shoe-holic). :)

Good point!  THere's definitely an up-side!

Undies tend to be 1/2 of your pants size--fruit of the loom bikini.

I can relate..  Gosh I am wearing the same underwear too. Instead of mine being super
tight and rolling down. I wear them a different way, on the hips.  Actually I need new
underwear too. However, i had smaller underwear I never fit into or I bought because
I thought they were cute and now I fit into them which is awesome..........

CONFESSION TIME:  I did not purchase new undies until, while grocery shopping, I felt my undies slide down and off my bottom.  Good thing I had on pants.  Could have been really embarrassing.   I am 5'5" weigh 190ish  and pants size 14  new undie size is 7.  I also bought a pack of size 6, so this does not happen again.
