I'm almost 3 months postop and have lost almost 50 lbs but I have refused to buy any new clothes yet. I finally gave in today when my pajama bottoms fell right to the floor when I stood up! LOL So I went to Walmart to buy some cheap pajama bottoms. Had NO idea what size to get. Preop I was a tight 22/24. Well, to my complete amazement, I am now a 16!!! I almost fell over right in Walmart!! LOVE my sleeve!!

That's really amazing! I couldn't imagine! I lost 60 pounds once and barely went down a size. I think this sleeve really makes people lose FAT quickly, not just random weight. Whatever 50 pounds you lost were the right 50 pounds!

Wooo! That is awesome, congrats! I can't wait to see some real size changes. Right now for me my little NSV's have just been to finally get back into my wedding rings, and a favourite pair of jeans from a few years ago. Was so happy to wear them! :-)

That's great! You are doing so well! I've been buying walmart jammies too. They are so cheap you can buy the size you think you need and a size smaller because you'll be needing them soon.

Thanks Kim!! I got fleece pajama bottoms for $4.47 each and they have a drawstring so I should be able to get a lot of wear out of them.
