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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
