I am 5'4" and am shooting for 130. Although, I got to 140 a couple of years ago and was pretty happy with myself for the 5 minutes that I was at that weight.

5'7"

Surgeons goal is 130.

I'm gonna try.... But I'm very muscular and busty and I looked damn fine at 145 (10 years ago!) so not sure if it's realistic.

But...... DOC is the EXPERT so I gotta shoot for what he tells me!

Have not set a goal yet, I just don't know where it will end, or where I want it to - maintenence is fine for me right now, mainly since I am in a stall, lol. I would probably let myself shoot for a size 8, but only if my body wants it (thats so vague, I know). Otherwise, A 12-10 is what I am aiming for by my 39th birthday - or the holidays, whenever, lol...

...The sleeve has just made me so mellow about all of this, it will happen or it will not, as long as I maintain my current weight I am OK.

I am 5'7 as well, and personally I think 130 sounds a little too low. I am shooting for 150, which should put me at about a size 8. I think 150 would be easier to maintain, I think you would have to work awfully hard to maintain a weight of 130 at your height. Just my opinion.

Good luck!

130 is that too thin?

Hi there

As others have said, not knowing your height presents us with a problem, now i just looked up the following information, hope it helps

Giraffe - 16-20 ft. tall - average weight approximately 1,800 lbs.

hope this comparison helps :D

welcome

I was sadden to find out during my dr. appt on Tuesday that I am now 5'3". I have shrank ( shrink, shrank, shrunk) since college. I was 5'5.5". I figure the many years of carrying over 300 lbs on these bones did it. Since I can't get the height back I can at least get the weight off to see 150-160 lbs so I can rock some 2 inch heels by the time I turn 45....I have 2 years! My heels for the past 5 years have been Nike walking shoes:(

I'm 5;3, 260 pounds hippy and curvy

Sorry, for some reason I thought you said you were 5'7. At your height, I think 130 is a very normal, realistic goal and not too low at all. Again, just my opinion!

      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.
