I am 5'5 and now weigh 173. I don't think I look it at all and no one believes me when i tell them. i think it is all in your body structure. My goal was 147 but already my collarbones are sticking out' date=' my shoulders look bony the only place I have any "extra" is my middle, I have lost 121 pounds and I think atleast 10 pounds is skin. I'm going to lose another 15 more then see. I am having my muscle mass measured in February and I think that will be when I decide my final goal.

Don't get stuck on a #. It's too stressful![/quote']

Best thing to do is talk with the nut. because not everyone has the same bone structure, and there are different weights for different bone structures. Im 5"4' with a large bone structure and 6 months post op I weigh 155.8 thats 87 lbs down, 150 is the lowest id wanna go. Everyone is different. The BMI scale you get offline is going to just discourage you cause it doesnt go into detail it just bases it off height and weight.

I'm 5'4...i think 135-140lbs would be my ideal.

My primary care doctor helped me set my goal at 145lbs, which places me in a healthy BMI range.

Hi, I'm 5'6" and my goal weight is 150 154. In order to have a normal BMI of 24, I have to meet this goal. Weight is coming off so slow now, not sure I will make it! Blah..

I'm 5'5" 1/2' date=' my original goal weight was 175. I'm a curvy girl. But I'm thinking that might not be good enough now. Idk. I weight 195 right now, 4 months out. I was just wondering what your goal weight was? I have a medium frame.[/quote']

I'm also between 5'5 and 5'6. My goal weight is 145. The smallest I've even been has been 160. I'm def going to hit the gym as soon as I'm cleared by my doctor.

I'm 5'5" and am at 142, which I'm very happy at. However, since it's common to gain back a little after about a year (according to my surgeon), my goal is 130 so I can hopefully maintain between 130 and 140. I'm in a size 6/8 now. Crazy!

I am close to 5'6 and have a goal of 170. My ultimate would be 160. I did Atkins years ago and 170 is where I looked great. I never made it lower.

I am 5'5.5" with a large frame. My lowest adult weight was 155 (muscular), so that seems a reasonable goal for me.

      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.
