Ok, so for the past month we've been able to wear jeans to work. No problem I bought some jeans size 18 regular, that started out tight but ended up a little lose by the next month. Before that my dress pants were fitting lose size 22W. I thought ehhh after a month I'll still be good to wear my 22's right? Yea I was wrong wrong wrong! like really wrong! I put them on last night since it's back to regular work clothes this month...bam! Clown pants! What the hell?! I'm not very smart apparently. So I go to Wal-Mart and I can't find a single size 18 work pant. Uhhh so I'm like well I'll try this 16W but it's not going to fit. It will be tight as hell...NO! what! NO?! This means I've lost 6 sizes since surgery?! How does that happen? I don't get the sizing thing. I never wore a size 16W at 241 before?

Lesson: Sizes change very fast! No you can't wear your 22W's!

I completely understand. My goal weight is 185 and a size 16. I am 215 and already a size 16. I distinctly remember wearing an 18 when I weighed 185 decades ago. That is some serious vanity sizing :)

Yup at this weight I remember being a tight size 18? I think there is defiantly some funny business going on.

That is awesome! Congratulations! I mostly shop thrift stores and Salvation Army now because I am changing sizes so fast. When I find something in a smaller size that I really like, I pick it up because it will most likely fit 2 weeks later :)

I'm in a 14 and still weigh 202 which I find very weird. But the difference between being 202 NOW and 202 back in the day is that now I'm a more fit 202 pounds because I work out where back in high school I did not work out so I was more of a flabby 202 pounds so I wore a 16

That might have something to do with it too. I do a lot more activity now. So maybe more muscle? Not sure.

It can be the style of the pants too. I can wear a size 22W clothes that I buy a Fashion Bug, but if I go to Walmart, I might be a 20W and from DOTS I am a 24W (junior type of clothes). And I am preop!
