Two Week update!!! weight, pant size, ski injury, ignorance

[dallasdaisymae]

I'm have the Duodenal Switch surgery in five days and i have been watching you videos and this week i started getting really scared for the first time, but seeing these are helping my stress and anxiety. I weighed 419 three days ago. I'm 28 and 5'7", I would like to add you to my facebook, because alot of my friends and family don't understand it. Even my grandma who had roux en y 14 months ago. I hope you are close to your goal and wish you all the best life has to offer!

I'm going through and rewatching all of your vids...and I so understand you. I keep telling you that we are twins, well not anymore b/c you have lost alot of your weight. I have decided to have wls and I am looking for a support unit.

Hey Jen, I also thought you might like to know that not all clothes are created equal. That is because there can be up to a 3" difference in the same size. So it also depends on how the clothes are cut. I currently wear a size 22/24 depending on the way the clothes are cut. But I am kind of even on top and bottom, currently I weigh 282.6lbs and am 5'5" tall.

Our bodies are shaped differently...I ran into something similiar because there were people my same weight and I wasn't able to wear the same size at the time....Also the loose skin plays into that as well. Congrats on the 28 lb loss...that is awesome :)

Hey I gotta say its all about how you carry your weight. I weigh 280 (havin gastric bypass OCT 22nd) I wear a 22 in pants and a XL to XXL in tops. My Wedding dress was an 18 and I think they run large. My friend weighs 229 and wears a 22 so it is on an individual basis.

Hey for me its has gone like this...start weight was 317 now @ 229 I have gone from a 24 to 20 bottoms LOL and on top from a 22/24 to a 14/16...I think its all about how you carry weight.

You are doing a super job! Isn't it amazing that the first week sucks so bad, and now you're already thinking about clothes shopping! Yay!

SIzes are SO fickle. Today I'm wearing size 24 pants - yesterday, 22s. A 2x shirt - the other day, a 1x and a 3x. It really depends on the clothes design. One of your comments said to wear what fits and what's comfortable. I agree. Keep trying things on, too. You just never know.

Enjoy!

everyone is sooo different, i started at 380# size 34 and 5xl tops and some 5xl wouldn't fit me in pants, i've lost 110# and now wear anything from 26-22, depending who makes it in pants, and in tops i'm a 2xl or 20/22. my friends all wear very different sizes and we "look" different too...my suggestion is, wear what looks good, so you feel good! drawstring pants for awhile, you're gonna lose so much wt quickly, don't spend much money, see if someone can "loan" you clothes. GL shopping...

i am almost 4 months out and i have lost two pant sizes but like 8 sizes in my shirt go figure. my butt is still big but my boobs are goig away :(. no onw thought i weight 364 when i started and keep asking me how i had so much extra weight. but i am losing it head part first and slowly down in my butt area. it is diffrent for everyone just be glad the scale is going down and are you measruing your inches lost? congrats on your sucess so far.

Everyone is different in how and where they hold their extra weight ... I have lost 56 pounds and still in the same size ... but close to 1 size down
