What is your height?



Recommended Posts

5'6"

I would love to get to 145, which should be about a size 8 for me. My lowest adult weight was 158, which was a size 10, and that was in 1997. I'm currently 220, and am still researching lapband and surgeons.

I'm 5'5" and would love to be 150 - 160 lbs. It's been so long ago, I can't even tell you what size that is for me. We'll see how it goes and as a woman, I reserve the right to change my mind. :)

I'm 5'4+ and wanted to get down to 135 but after reading the 'size instead of weight' post I think that's a better way to go.

Thanks!

5.8 I wll be happy WHEN I get to 170 which puts me in a size 12 or 14. I think I will be happy to be below 170, but I can't even remember when I weighed less that that!

      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.
