I am 5' 10" and my first goal I am reaching for is 200 at this point. If I reach that, I will be extremely happy and if I never get any lower, it will be enough considering how high I had gotten at one point.

My Dr hasn't given me goals.. Pre-surgery the dietician asked me what I would be happy with but never said this is where you need to be..

Now saying that the first Dr that rejected me as a lapband candidate said I needed to be down to 123 in 1 yr (at 5' 2.5") in order to be considered a success. Therefore, I would never be successful and he wouldn't do the band on someone like me.

I am 5'5" currently 150. My initial goal was 135 but now I am very happy with my current weight. Wouldn't mind to get to 145 for a maintenance range. The weight I thought would be ideal turns out now would be too small for my body type.

Nope! Wish I was joking but unfortunately I left the Dr's office crying that day.

I am 5'3" and my goal weight is 130. This might change as I get closer. I started this journey at 232 pounds and I am currently at 197. I can't wait to get to goal or close to it!!

I'm 5'4" and my goal is 130. Although I think I'd like to get to 125 and then never go over 130. We'll see. My surgery is tomorrow. :o I've done very well on my pre-op diet though - I've lost 19 pounds as of yesterday. :)

I am 5' 6.5" and my goal is 160' date=' maybe 150. I can't remember being lower than 185, so I'd even take that now :)[/quote']

Sounds exactly like me.

I was 185 about 7 years ago, but only for a few months! Before that, it was high school.

I'm 5' 7". My goal for this year is to get under 200lbs. Long term goal is 160. I can't even imagine weighing 160. Seems unfathomable.

I'm almost 5'6" and I was 145 for a short time in college. I'd love to be back there! Realistically my 1st goal is 155 and then we'll see what happens.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
