My pants are starting to hang off of me

This is really strange for me because I am down about 22 lbs since surgery (haven't weighed myself in a couple of days, I am away for the long weekend) Anyways all the times before that I lost weight, I lost it from my face, neck and chest area. Well I noticed last week a pair of jeans fitting me better on the butt. A pair of jeans I wore before my surgery were tight well I put them on last night and they are hanging off of me down below my heels now, my child said my bum is sagging and I can pull them out from my stomach now too. This isn't much weight to see a difference like this already, so this is pretty weird for me. I am still away to my parent's house and get this nice hard chair to sit in to be on the computer and I do notice two bones in my butt make this hard chair very uncomfortable. I can't wait to weight myself on Tuesday to see how I am doing.

I had turkey today and yes a nibble of dressing which pretty near killed me, I love my spices but I don't think my sleeve likes them.

Your doctor allows turkey less than a month post op?


You will be going through clothes sizes rapidly. Get ready for some shopping.

just a tiny bit of puree turkey, basically still protein shakes. I can't get much in yet, and I know suppose to be soft fish but had a tablespoon of dark moist meat. my mom actually did up fish for me that I should probably eat for breakfast before I hit the road.

I was hoping to get to wear my skinny jeans until xmas, we will have to see if they stay up. I go back to work next week, guess I will been packing some clothes to give away

Our washing machine is on the fritz - we're waiting for a part.  So on Friday I only had clean pants from before I started to lose weight, that were snug back then.  Well, talk about droopy drawers!  I could take those pants off without unbuttoning.  I have bought a few things so that I have some clothes for work, but sizes are changing fairly quickly.  I need petite length pants (long torso and short legs), and have not been able to find them in the thrift stores.  It's not just the legs that are too long, or I'd hem them.  The rise is also too long and either I look like Steve Irkel or the crotch is 1/2 way to my knees - not a pretty sight either way!  LOL  Luckily, the WLS program has a clothing swap every 3 months after support group, and the next one is 11/4, so hopefully I can get some things in different sizes, to last awhile.  I have lots of stuff to bring to the swap as well.

that's awesome that you have the clothing exchange. I gave away most of my small clothes cause I got tired of looking at them and never thought I would fit back into them probably two years ago when I was making room for thr new baby. My sister has a bag of size 12 clothes for me but I currently wear 22 do I told her it would be a few months yet. I will try to get by with second hand stuff until my weight stabilizes a bit.

Luckily I had a couple pair of size 22 jeans and a few 2x tops, from when I was thinner a few years ago, but those, especially the pants are now too big as well.  I went out and bought some size 20's and they fit well - don't know for how long though.  However, if not having well fitting clothes is the worst that it gets, I can't complain.  The fact that the size is going down, not up is a miracle!

I agree with you, wore my skinny jeans home today and hmmm they might fit me for a couple of weeks lol. Sad looking though.

You seem to be doing really well on your scale. I just got home and stood on the scale and same weight as I was Friday morning but I usually weigh first thing in the morning so I will be waiting to see what tomorrow morning brings.
