I've seen so many pics of post-ops standing in one leg of a pair of their pre-op jeans, pants, etc.  Just curious as to how many of you w. at least 100 lbs. lost have actually been able to do this?  (I still can't @ 200+ lbs. off ..  &:-/) )

I can get 2 grown adults in one of my pre-op size 62 pant legs.

Yes, I have a photo in my profile with me and my wife both in my old pants with room to spare.

OK, I had never really thought about it until you mentioned it. So I went upstairs and dug out a size 50 waste (which was not really my waste size, it was the diameter under the awning - you know the overhang that keeps your junk dry when) I could never wear pants around my waist before, even with a belt, they would just slide down the curvature of my belly....Anyways, I'm down to 31 actual waist size now so i gave it a try. It worked, but let me tell you, BE CAREFUL it's really hard to stand, maneuver, etc... when you have both of your legs and feet sticking out of one pant leg..Be careful trying this guys...gotta go ice my bruised hip and backside now...LOL!!!

 That was funny, Michael ..  glad u came out O.K.!   wow - Kyp  ..  I guess I got a ways to go then, as my old pants I wore down to Brazil for surgery were around 62s too (I guess that's around the "overhang", as Michael put it - LOL).  The "underhang" is now 42" or so and I can't get in one leg of the old ones yet ..   &:-/)     (what is your waist size now, Kyp, btw?)    Part of the problem may be due to my lymphedema of lower legs though, which, unfortunately, the weight loss has very little effect on  ..  (UGH) ..   I see Bob u're a fellow LEer?   Are you doing the MLD massage/compression wrappings thing too?
