how many inches or sizes have you lost?

Just wondering.  Just joined the VSG bench and looking at future clothe options.  I am currently a size 22 and hope to some day fit into a 12 or even a 9.

Plus it's fun to hear success stories!      

I am 5 ft 8.5. My highest was 278, surgery weight was 247.  I was a 22/24 and am now a 14 at 182.4.  I will hopefully get to a 12.  I have about 15 pounds till I am a healthy weight.  I didn't move down to a 20 until I had lost 50 pounds!  Crazy.....  My inches lost are 58.  

I was a size 24/26 and 5'7" and after 8 months and 110 lbs lost I am in a tight 14, loose 16. Or size Large. I'm not done yet, so I expect I will probably end up as a size 8/10 when I reach goal. 

I already feel like a success!! 

I was a 22 and now I'm a loose 4 or a very tight 2.

I'm 5'7 started at over 300 lbs in a tight 24. I'm 10.5 months out and have lost 188.5 lbs. I wear a size 6..and one size 4. . I have no hips and was shaped like an apple. I think my current pic in my profile were taken when I was a size 10. I was a fat as a kid, teen, and adult. I had no idea what it would be like to be normal...or thin. If I can do this...anyone can. Best of luck!

It will happen. I was wearing an Addition-Elle size 24 pair of pants on surgery day. Now 13 months later sizes are all over the place.  Buy what fits. There is way too much vanity sizing out there. I have done a lot of shopping this month as I had nothing left. This month I have bought size small and medium shirts, an extra large negligee from a lingerie shop. Then pants in sizes 7,8,9 & 10. 

 

I am 5'5" and started at what should have been a 22. (I refused to buy anything bigger than an 18, so you can imagine the amount of stretchy pants and oversized shirts I wore to cover the abomination that was my muffin top. lol) I've lost 60 lbs since my preop diet at the end of November. My 16s are getting too big on me now. :)

I imagine women's sizes are more what you were looking for but as a motivator I'll chime in

Casual shirt 5x to med/small
Dress shirt 22 to 15.5. Now in generic med shirt.
Pants tight tight 62 now 34/36 and I imagine I'll be in 32s soon (they button but are a little bit too tight). Probably that will be my bottom until I get plastics.
Also dropped half a shoe size.

Love this shrinking above all else. Just remember that stalls mean shrinking when you are on program (in my experience).

Good luck

I am 5'5. Was a 20/22 at 240

I am now 120-125 and a size 0/2
At 145 I was a size 4.

I started at 271 and was wearing a tight 20 and 3x tops. Today I'm 150 and am wearing 6, 8 and 10 depending on the brand.  Eddie Bauer clothing runs big so I love the size 6's I'm wearing from them even though I know it's vanity.  In tops I still like to wear size Large probably because I'm still not comfortable with my body to wear tight fitting clothing so I like my tops to be a little looser.  I'm 5'4" and have another 10 to 15 lbs to go.
