Weight loss and clothes sizes...

[honeykiss]

Hi Everyone,

I have now lost 61lbs including pre op, I had my WLS on 10th |September.

Today I weight 17 stones 6lbs and I am 5ft 6".
Most of my clothes range from size 32 down to size 26

I am still wearing my same Bra's ( 48 G) , My tops feel a bit looser and my trousers feel very loose ( Mind you most of them have elasticated waists!!

I tried on a top ( Size 24) and it was too tight! I tired on some trousers a fellow WLS friend gave me in a 24 and they fit.

I obviously carry most of my weight on my boobs and belly but when will it start to disappear from there? I don't think I look much different and although I know the weight doesn't disappear overnight I am a bit disappointed I still can't really fit into smaller size tops yet!


I keep reading posts where people weigh much more than I do but can fit into size 22 tops!! I know I know I am an impatient mare lol

Any advice from fellow top heavy WLS peeps?

The thing that i have found is that now that I am loosing weight, my face is a bit more wrinkled and I seem to have dark shadows and extra skin under my eyes... I am 62 and have NEVER had wrinkes lol..

Lol you can have the lot, I hate them. I don't have a big stomach but in certain clothes I just look square as they just fall straight at the bust area others cling round so makes them look bigger. It's hard to exercise they are always in the way x

Hi Wendy, it think it's more important to focus on how much weight you have lost which is a FANTASTIC amount !!

Unfortunately I am not top heavy, and if I was 17½ stone I would be able to wear size 24 quite easily and possibly the occasional generous 22 (I was 17.5 stone about 5 years ago -- very briefly -- didn't take me long to go back up to 18 something and 19 something).

Your size is decreasing -- you know this. Your weight is going down and your health is improving.

The weight *will* come off your bust eventually .... and you will eventually get to wear size 24, and 22 etc etc.

Don't worry so much about when -- more on the how !!!

Thanks Sharon,

Thanks for that, it is easy to lose sight of what is more important and helath V Clothes well then my health wins!

Just a bit miffed I can't buy a few new tops in Matalan with my 10% off voucher lol

On a serious note I am feeling a lot more energetic, my dog has never been walked so far and I can go up and down the stairs without thinking I am going to have a heart attack!!

It is suppose to be a dress size lost per 10-14lb lost.

But everyone is very different and the weight comes from all over x

The rest is dress sizes
