Let me see. On the day of my surgery in March, I wore a 26/28 from Lane Bryant. Now I wear a size 16 or 18 depending on where the clothes are from. My shoe size has not changed, they just fit better since my feet and ankles are no longer swollen.

I have gone from a size 32 to a size 18/20 top and 24/26 size pants. I guess it would be a lot smaller if I didn't have my mommie belly to squeeze it all into. My shoe size hasn't chaged yet but I can't wait for that moment because I have big feet. Their not as swollen anymore (well before becoming pregnant), they slide right into my shoes.

Well, the day I went in for surgery I wore a 22/24 (size 20 pants) from Lane Bryant. Today I am wearing a 14/16 from Lerners New York. AND I am going shopping again this weekend because the pants I am wearing now are getting baggy!!!

I went from a 32 (4X) the day of surgery to a pair of size 8 stretch jeans, I am a comfortable 10 in pants and a 12-14 top (damn saggy boobs). I went from an 8.5-9 shoe to a 7.5-8 now.

I started in a snug 28 pant and 30/32 shirt. I now wear size12-16 depending on the cut, mostly, 14's though. And a Large for the shirt. I now longer shop in the plus size section! But I always end up there at the store! Then I notice what I am doing and go shop where I am suppose to be lol!

I went from 22/24 TOP AND BOTTOM and a size 9 - 9 1/2 shoe

to a 14 TOP and bottom in the regular sizes not plus. large top
and my feet went to an 8 1/2

my goal was to shop in the regular clothes but my issue is I have been "hiding" behind large clothes for so long the littler clothes make
me feel so exposed. I need to change my mind set. I still find myself buying bigger things to hide so I dont draw too much attention to myself. Can anyone relate?

I had some 30/32 pants a couple of tops 4 X. Now I can fit in a 18/20 pants and 1x top. My feet have always been big so that really hasn't changed. When my daughter was born my grandmother looked at her feet and said " She has Thompson feet !" All the women on dads side wear a 10-11 shoe. It's nice to know I got something from my dad's side of the family. Mom's side had the weight !

I started at a size 32 (4x) pants and tops. I am now wearing size 22/24 pants depending on the cut (still need a 26 in jeans) and a 1x or size 22/24 top. I'm still waiting to be able to walk into a regular clothing store but I have to tell you it sure feels good to even be able to find clothes that are actually fitting well! At the size I was it was really hard to find clothes at all. My shoe size is still the same but they aren't as wide because I have much less swelling in my feet.

Okay, I was wearing a 26/28 last year now I'm in a 10, I can squeeze in an 8 pants.

I actually hate this question from people who have never had to struggle with their weight. My sister inlaw called and said what size are you now. I said that depends on what brand you ask, and avioded the question. Later on that day I went to get a cheap wedding band for now until I finish losing weight. I got a size 6. I've never been a size 6 in a ring. My eight grade ring was a size 8. It only got worse from there. I've just been waiting for her to ask what size I am so I can say 6....but NO....she hasn't ask since.
