Bye Bye Pants

At about 6 weeks post op, I had to buy new pants for work. I only got 2 pairs since I knew I would eventually not need them anymore. Well, this weekend, I had to put them on the "get rid of" pile. They are now too big. For some reason, when I got rid of my size 22W, it didn't hit me as much getting rid of my size 18W. Maybe its because I had a slight scale stall last week, but this one seems more significant.

Anyone else experienced this?

I have gone down from 20W to size 12 and sometimes 10 now in pants. Like you, I do find that clothes will still fit looser even in a stall, proving that you are losing inches even when the scale does not reflect pounds lost. Good for you! I know it feels great to be in a smaller size. I frequent the consignment stores right now.

I have been putting off buying clothes but my size 20/22's hang halfway down my thighs and looks pretty bad.  I hate shopping.  I know I have lost in the butt area because it really hurts to sit very long. 

Congratulations on losing all those sizes and inches!!  Yeah I've heard this a lot.  The science is muscle weighs more than fat.  So when you stall you are gain muscle but losing fat therefore making you lose inches but not pounds. 

I actually have been hoping for a stall because my waist  needs to catch up.  I still haven't gone down a full size.  If I don't start losing some inches around the waist soon I'm gonna look like the man on "Despicable Me"  (the cartoon with the large waist and skinny arms and legs)  LOL!! :-)
