:rolleyes: Jennifer, I have to smile and roll my eyes, I just was thinking the same thing. I have also reached and surpassed my goal. I wanted to be a size 10 and now I am a size 6, I started as a size 24. Now I want to be tone, I hate my legs and I was worried about my arms but they are looking really good. I am sure this will level off after a while, I think my eyes and brain are having a problem adjusting to the new me, I think I have trouble seeing my self as small as I really am. I think I have the body size corrected, I am thinking I need to fix my thought processes now. So you got company girl, still taking this new life one day at a time. By the way you look amazing. B)

I'm interested to hear people's answers to this. I am 20 lbs away from my goal of 149, hoping for a size 8...but already I'm thinking and wondering what i will look like and if I will be satisfied. No way to tell until I'm there i guess!

My original goal was 79kg which was a BMI of 25, and I knew I would never been happy with that - I always wanted to get much thinner. But did I consciously change it to another number ....... no. I just stopped where I stopped.

I know exactly what you all mean and speaking as someone who has been through tons of sizing on her way down i can tell you that in most cases u will never be satisfied with the way you look at goal weight. When i weighed the same as i do now many years ago i would have been 3 sizes smaller than what i am now, even tho i have just had my skin removed there is no way i will ever look like i used to, most of that is down to age and genetics and hormones.

Bodies dont like the clock being turned back so they do other things instead, my face, my butt and my breasts were the first areas to lose all this weight and i hate it ...

but at least i am healthy now and at 58 i dont suppose it matters as much as if i was 28 so good luck and i hope you get where u want to be :)

      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.
