What Is Your Goal Weight ?!



Recommended Posts

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

I am 5'1" and my goal weight is 120. I used to be a size 10 when I was younger, but I really don't care about the size as long as I am healthy.

I'm 5'5" and my doctor's goal is 120 but I'm thinking 130-140. Why do they go so low?

Goal weight is 130-140. My surgeon said because of my body comp, I will look very skinny already at 165ish. When I'm around that weight I'm probably a size 8. But I'm going to prove them wrong. Average Weight for my height to be at a normal weight is 132. So that's what I'm aiming for. I'm 24 years old. I'm 10 days post op and have lost 15 lbs as of this mornings weigh in. I was 232 preop. I'm 5"5. Good luck with your surgery btw! Hope everything goes smoothly for you:)

Sizes vary so much. I'm 5'0" and currently 153 and can wear a 6 from American Eagle another pair of pants that I used to have same exact pants pre surg in a 12 I found them in a 4 at a resale place but they still had tags and they fit great! I have a pair of shorts that a jr's 9 from jcp and I can get them on but to button them would be uncomfortable until I lose about 8 more pounds I'm sure. So that said I'd like to get to 130 ish and whatever size that may be!! O ya I'm 42. Forgot that part!

I'm tall for a female 6ft. My starting weight was just over 400 so i set my first real goal at getting to 199, Doctor told me that was a good place to start.Getting to 174 will put me in the normal range, so once i get below 200 i will decided how much loser i want to go. Right now I would be happy to get to a size 16.I am 33.

I'm also 6ft tall. My starting weight was 298. My goal is 165ish, although I'm not sure that's possible. I have been at 170/size 12. I would like to be a bit less. I'm hoping for a size 10. My starting size is 22/24. 175 is generally considered my target.

      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.
