This happened to me on Sat last week. I was cleaning out my closet and found a pair of jeans that I put away for "when I was able to loose some weight" about a year ago before I was thinking about WLS ( I stopped wearing jeans about then and switched to sweats, I was at 456lbs and nothing fit right) back to the story. I came across them and said why not I will try them on and see if they fit, so I put them on and zipped them and let go and wait what the hell they are on the floor. They fell right off of me Major NSV. the only bad news is now I want to wear jeans again so I went and bought a pair and now I put them on today and they almost fell off thank god for a belt. I also do not have to shop at big and tall stores anymore no more 50$ pair of pants for this guy and 25$ t shirts anymore. I think I will be shopping at some thrift stores/goodwill until I hit my goal weight. Sorry it was a longer post but I had to share thanks for reading.

Congrats! I know how happy my husband was the first time he had a pair of pants that could not be fixed by wearing a belt, so I have some idea of what that meant for you

I don't blame you for shopping thrift stores for a while... I think I'll be doing the same when the weight starts to peel off like that.

Great job!

I never thought it would feel this good. My only regret that I have from the whole WLS from start to finish is that I did not do it sooner. I was thinking about it for many years but I was afraid to do it I guess. But then my Dr started to tell me about it and he wanted me to do it so I went to the class. I thank god that I went to my Dr I know It added years to my life and I feel so much better.

 Congrats!  What store are you shopping at?  I'm a bit less then you and I still need to shop at the Big and Tall store :(

My waist size has not changed very much so far.  I guess I'm loosing it other places.

I can't believe it I work at target and I can shop there for pants now, shirts on the other hand I need to go to wal-mart but pants are not 50$ anymore like at the big and tall stores. I hated shopping there but the people were great.

 Awesome NSV! One of the most awesome feelings ever, when the pants that were the "when I lose some weight pants" become the ones that drop to the floor. Congrats and keep up the awesome work!
