I always felt best at a 8-10. Kept my curves and wouldn't want any lower.

I'm an 18 (or a 16 depending on where I shop) and I want to be at least an 8/10 so I can finally share clothes with my sister!

People tell me my mind will change later on but we shall see :)

It depends. I was happy with my plus size body but my knee was being affected & my stomach was in the way of sex.

I wasn't into exercise but I wasn't lazy. I took care of my chores kids cooking. But I hit a moment that I want to be healthy & decided I don't want to be fat.

A long time ago, I was a size 4, but I looked hollow and unhealthy...I think I will be happy with size 8, Im a 18 in some things and a 22/24 in others...i don't like things snug so I tend to go up a size to hide more of me.

No longer does an 18 feel comfortable. Stuffed sausage is more like it. That is what I mosey have thought and a few 20's.

I am really hoping to k ow what single digits looks and feels like. I could even live with the 8/10 any smaller would be dreamland!

I wouldn't mind being a 10/12 just as long as I'm healthy and able to have more children :)

Honestly I wouldn't mind being a size 12-14. I loved my body at that size

I'll like 6/8 but I'm not sure, I don't want to look sick. I will let my body decide, and i'll be happy whenever my body wants to stop lossing weight :)

      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.
