What Is Your Ideal Size?



Recommended Posts

I have never been thin so I don't even know what is the smallest my bones will fit in to, but remember I didn't look too shabby in a size 14 (was 180lbs, still 30-40lbs overweight) but man I'd love to wear a size 8

I would love to be a size 6/8. Right now I am in the high 20's/low 30's. I feel like Jabba the Hut. Getting down to a manageable size is the goal. I will have surgery in September sometime... October at the latest.

I have a bit of booty, which I would definitely not mind keeping!

Pre-op, in an 18/20 right now. I think dreamland would be about a 10, but I'm not even sure if my big bones will fit there - I'll be more than happy with a 12/14!

I have always wanted to get to a 14, since I've been bigger than that all my adult life. But I wouldn't mind being smaller. I'm curvy, and I worry about looking crazy if I lose too much. :-)

I would love to be a size 10 again (like I was when I got married 26 years ago). I'm a size 26w so I don't know if everything (mainly my stomach area) will go back to that.

Never been under a 13/14 !!! Hopefully an 8/9 ! But my lowest is definitely a 6 ...

Loves my curves too much and would love to keep them !

But any size is fine as long as I am healthier !

Me too Rachael. I wear a 30/32 top and 26/28 pant. Smallest size I ever remember wearing was a 12.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
