I just tried on and bought a pair of size 4 skinny jeans! Five months ago I was squeezing into a size 16. This feels amazing!

I know what you mean! I bought a pair of size 2's this past weekend and they were a little big in the waist (but the zero was snug). I also own size 0-2 work out pants that fit nicely. I have no idea what this life is!

Haha, I hear you! I bought my first pair of skinny jeans about a week or so ago. I'm a 43 year old male, so I'm not really the prime demographic for skinny jeans, but I kept getting comments on how baggy my slim cut jeans were. So I got a pair of 29" skinny jeans. The butt is still a bit saggy, but my wife said "oh wow, those actually fit you!". Crazy. I was in middle school the last time I wore 29" pants. Maybe elementary....

My husband, was a 32" waist before my surgery and is now a 29" waist (the perks of spouses having WLS I guess?) He's really enjoying being back into his "16-year-old jeans".

Nice! Unfortunately, I was a 48" waist!

This has happened effortlessly for my husband as well.

Awesome!

I have been having the same weird experience. Several months ago I bought two pair of size 14 loose fit jeans from J.Jill. I was so excited because I am hard to fit with a small waist and large thighs. I bought two pair of size 12 at the same time hoping to fit them soon. Well, I wore the size 14 one time before they both went to Good Will. Since then I have purchased 2 10s, 2 8s, 2 6s, and 2 4s. I wore the size 8 this weekend and noticed they were starting to get loose so I tried on the size 6. Yep it fits. I guess I'll be in the size 4 before too long. I went online trying to order the size 2 and they don't have any. It's a crazy world.

I wear a 0-2 now - there are some stores who don't carry sizes that low, which blows my mind. I've bought some kids tops and junior size bottoms.

Wow, congratulations to all! My new size has an 8 in it, and it's not an 18!
