I have to agree with Melanie. I've just been noticing the same thing over the past couple months. You know I continued to wear my same clothes until about 4-5 months postop. They were getting bigger but not SO BIG that I couldn't wear them. At 5 months post-op I was down 100 lbs and had only broken down to buy new clothes like the month before. Now I can't even wear the clothes that I got just a month ago! Everything is getting so big so fast! I mean they don't stay up!! I'm finding that I am changing sizes SO much faster! I buy something, and its even tight when I buy it and 3 weeks later its almost falling off from me. I'm only averaging about 3-4 pounds a week so its not that I'm losing so much more than I was earlier. For me, I lost from the top down. My tops got bigger on me faster than my pants. Now it seems that I am losing more from the waist down. FINALLY! Please try not to get too discouraged. You will keep shrinking! I know that for sure and before you know it you'll be panicing because you don't have anything that fits you!
