Great poll Sue!!! Highest Weight: 330 (July 2004) Weight the day of surgery: 305 Current weight: 229 (total 101 pounds today!!!) Current height: 5'6" Current size in pants: 18 (used to be 26/28 or 3x) Current size in shirts: XL, 18/20 (used to be 30 or 4x) some larges Body Type (apple, pear, etc): used to be hourglass, then became an apple, now I'm a pear with a rapidly shrinking top. Has your shoe size changed? Yes, my shoes are getting bigger, but I don't know my new size yet although I have found some 9s fit and I was wearing a 9.5w/10w before. I just surprised myself two nights ago by trying on clothes I thought would be too tight that someone gave me and the size 18s fit comfortably, but the size 16s were much too skin tight for public wearing. Maybe in a month or so. I find it hard to believe that it is really happening sometimes. I'm in the teen sizes and all the 20ish sizes are huge on me. I'm now wearing borrowed/gifted clothing but do wear some of my huge shirts because I like them and have a hard time giving them up.
