Just like my generation says: "Only a dog wants a bone".
The goal is get healthy...don't just go by dress/slack size.

Size Zero?!
When I was coming up, Size 3 was as low as you could get!
Just goes to show...America is truly obsessed with thinness! Is there such a thing as negative sizes yet, like -1, -2, etc.?
I'm good with my size 14's. It's a long way from dayum near bustin' out of size 34/36! And that was cotton knit! Jeans or khakis were not even an option for me three years ago! I even have a couple pair of 12's, and I'm doing the happy dance! I'm bottom heavy, so even at my lowest, and once my excess skin is gone, I'll always be bigger on the bottom. It's a family trait!
If you feel good in zeros, and you are healthy, then that's all that matters. I'm only in awe!

Topic: RE: Loser
You *are* doing it on your own!
Sticking to a nutrition and supplement regimen post-WLS is so much harder than dieting! Give yourself some credit!
You made what I'm sure was a very difficult decision to have WLS, and took on all that means! Whether we have RNY, DS, LapBand or whatever, each has its own set of rules that we must follow to keep losing, maintaining our weight loss and most importantly, stay healthy. If we don't do the latter, losing and maintaining mean absolutely nothing! I chose the DS, and believe me, staying healthy is a full time job with this one!
I got rather sloppy the past 6 months while my Mom was making her transition, and I'm paying for it now! Iron, multivitamin and calcium infusions every week for a month. I'm coming up on week two right now.
Nevertheless, I'm blessed to have an excellent team of doctors, and a fantastic surgeon, who are not bashful about a good old fashioned "butt-chew" if I need one! I also have other health issues to deal with that we sistas seem to get more than our share of. I have lupus and fibromyalgia. In my case, at a high weight of 405, the benefits of WLS clearly outweighed the risks, and I thank God every day for this miracle.
You are BLESSED!
