Hey guys and girls. I am 5'10 301lbs and I want to get to 200-210. Has anyone been close to the same size. Where did you level off. I don't want to be too small that I look sick. Oh and my BMi is 43. Thx

I can't answer from personal experience but my son is 6'2 and weighs 185 and doesn't look sickly. He looks lean and slender. My husband is 6 and has lost down to 240 and at 200, he will not look sickly. When he's 200, he looked like he could have lost another 10-15 lbs. I think you should be okay.

I would say you would look great at even 170.

Only you can truly answer what the best final weight for you will be. Right now you say 200 -210, but you may change your goal once you achieve this goal.

First hit your initial goal and reevaluate then. Maybe you'll be happy at that weight or you might want to loose another 5 - 10 pounds.

Just my 2 cents...

      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.
