What Is Your Goal Weight ?!



Recommended Posts

I'm 5'11". Highest weight was 357 in early march. 323 when i started my 2 week pre op diet. 299 day of surgery 7/30. 12 days post op i'm at 278. I would like to be around 200. The normal charts say i should be 175 but i just dont think that is right for me. I have always carried alot of muscle. But you never know i'll cross that bridge when i get there.

I'm 5'9" and my goal weight is 160 at least' date=' maybe 150. I remember that weight and it has been a long time since I've seen it:). I was size 10 to 12, but not that concerned with size as long as I never have to go to the plus section again![/quote']

I love this not shopping in plus size again!

I am a couple weeks away from getting a surgery date and starting an Atkins style low carb diet to prep. I read all these stories and pray this will work for me. I will cry when Ann Taylor size 12 fit. 10 I will pass out. 8 well we will see if I get there. I am sure as hell going to try like I won't fail. Sceptical.

I am 43 yrs young. 260 lbs wearing size 18 or now 16 in some dropped 5 lbs. I would like to drop 100 lbs. If I do my plastic surgeon is going to nip tuck anything that isn't right. Then I will go back to Maui to parisail and have the wedding photographer that shot our wedding there take hot pics of me!

Just curious as to what everyone's goal weight and size is ?! and how tall you are and your age <3

My surgeons goal weight is from 105-112-_- I personally think I will look sickly at that weight so I made my own personal goal of nothing bigger then a size 9 and a weight of 125 <3 I am 21 and stand at 5'4

That does sound very low for a goal weight I myself am 21 and 5'4 and my doc wants me at like 140

My goal weight is a solid 220. I am 5'11" and 33 years old. I am hoping that when I lose the weight,,,, I lengthen a little bit.... LOL... I've always wanted to be 6'0" tall.... LOL... Not sure if that could actually happen.. but eh...I can at least wish. :)

I am 5"8 I began this at 233. Had a food funeral gained a few pounds. I'm on the pre op diet. Surgery is Thursday 8am, I weigh 229 today expect to be 225 or 223 surgery date. I am 36 years old and goal weight is 170. At 206 I wore a size 12 so I should be a comfortable "healthy" at 175.

I am 31. 5'5 ish and I want to be size 8 or 150. Whatever happens first. I might go down to 145 just to give me some wiggle room.

Did your dr set a goal for you? I'm also 31 and 5'5" and my dr said I should be able to get to 120! That seems super skinny to me so I told him 130-140. Ideally, 140 would be my max for a healthy BMI, I think. But I don't remember ever being less than 165 so anything less would be a dream.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
