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 !

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

      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.
