I Want To See What 125Lbs Looks Like.. Anyone Here That Size/weight?



Recommended Posts

Maybe I should post a photo looking for my body twin. That would be a great post. I'm going to clean though so if anyone wants to start one they can.

125 is awful bony. I have the opposite shape than you but I can tell you a few things about weight and goals.

Our bone structre got more dense (larger) to accomodate our weight as obese people. Looking at a person that has never been obese won't be completely accurate. I am 5'5 and currently 145. I want to be between 139-144 as a maintenance range. I can wear a 6 jean, a 2 dress, and a 4 in 1 Old Navy Jean style..lol

As is I can feel my knee bones when I am trying to sleep, I feel my pelvic bones-i do not feel the ribs yet but I were to drop to 125 I would look like a crackhead.

I am small boned.

You may also find your bone structure is a bit smaller than you think. My wrists are smaller, my ring size got smaller and my feet got smaller.

I think I could get in a 4 once I lose a few more pounds but as I shop now--it is hard finding a lot of size 2's---just something to think about.

It's crazy to me how we can look so different at the same height/weight. I'm 5'5" and when I weighed 140 lbs. I was wearing size 12 pants and medium top. I loved the way I looked and felt. But looking at a lot of those photos they are mostly in size 8 pants at that weight. Oh well. Every "body" is different.

      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.
