???Question of the Day???
What size were you post op an what size are you now? Or for those that are pre-op, what size are you now and what is your goal size?
I was a size 34 but believe it or not, sometimes that was too tight. I had one pair of jeans that were 36 and fit good, so maybe I was really a 36, but those were so hard to find. I could find the 34's at Catherine's but that was their largest size, so I was very limited. I am now a size 16. Some things I still have to wear 18 in, but I have lots of skin.
I finally got the scale to move another 10 pounds, so I am down 215 pounds now. At my current weight, I am happier and it is a far cry better than 425.

Hi Cheryl, at my heaviest I was in a size 32, now I am in a tight 18 and my goal is a 14 or 16. At my smallest (145) that I lost down to when I was 20 I could barely get into a size 12 and that would be a dream to wear. I have a very large frame and am fairly tall 5'7". That said, I am realistic and I highly doubt I will ever see a 12 again.

Pre-op sizes
Pants: 3x or size 28 (if zipper kind, tight in the tummy and big everywhere else, I have no hiney or legs, compared to tummy)
Shirts/blouses 4x button down, 3x pullover
Post-op 4 months out.
Pants: 14 (getting baggy(er) or 22 zip, but big everywhere else except tummy, I look funny 
I bought a reg womens size L pants, just waiting for SPRING to come our way to wear them!
Shirts/blouses: Well I'm still wearing my 3x winter sweaters, but they are real LARGE on me. button down blouse 2x, (dang these shoulders, girls are going, but not shoulders) **SO I have to shop 2 different depts in each store**
@ Goal I wish to be a Medium top, perhaps a ... Pants size 8 or 30 - 32 jean, but with my "V" shaped body, wondering how that'll ever happen. I swear I'm shaped like a football player, big shoulders and NO sitter, w/chicken legs *sigh*
I need to design my own clothing line, for those of us that are shaped like I am. Might as well make up my own sizes too...lol

Cheryl, I like you was a size 34W. i usually had to order my jeans thru Layne Bryant. I Just bought my first pair of 26W last week. I was walking out of my 34's. It was so weird to go to a store and buy a pair of jeans off the rack. I started at 346 on January 5th. I have lost almost 60 lbs. My goal is to wear anything that isn't plus size! heheh. probably a size 16?
