What Is Your Ideal Size?



Recommended Posts

I would like to be a 7-8. My Surgery is April or May after my 6 month diet and exercise requirement is complete. I am a 20-22 now. I really want to be healthy, I will take what ever my results end at, but I will give it my all to get there. Good luck to you all.

I am a 20-22 as well. My surgery will be next month. I think I wouldn't mind being a size 9. Ultimately I just want to look and feel healthy.

I'm so proud of you guys. I started out a size 24 and I didn't stop until I was a 0. I got an obsession with losing weight. I looked healthy at a size 6. I'm working my way back. It's hard. I have a true phobia of gaining weight now. I weigh myself everyday sometimes 3 times a day.

Just be careful. My surgery was a blessing. Just always be happy where you are. I'm learning that now.

I'm a size 22 right now' date=' I'd love to be a 12. I was a 12 when I got married and very happy at that size. Anything smaller would be the cherry on top.[/quote']

Don't forget the whip cream

Really size 0? How do you feel? Do you see your self in good health & shape? Like when you was size 6 did you feel fat? Me honestly I'm happy in my size 4 but I wouldn't mind being a size 2 heck even a 1 lmbo but I don't want to look anorexia. I see my self slim but not skinny yet.

I feel fine. Everyone keeps telling me that I look really frail and too thin. I feel like I should keep losing weight. It's like I'm not content until I feel skinny. I've been told that I looked my best when I was in my size 6 jeans. Im like you. I know I'm slim..but I don't feel skinny yet. I know that a size 0 must be skinny..but I don't feel skinny. I dunno, it's a mental thing. I'm still not happy with my body. I think I'll feel better once all the baggy skin comes off. I've already had a Tummy Tuck but my thighs, butt and boobs belong to an 80 year old woman.

I have never really been a small person. Even as a child I remember always being plumper than my friends and the other kids. The smallest size I ever remember wearing was a 14 in high school and I thought then that was huge. It's funny because now being a size 24 makes me yearn for those 14 days. Ideally, I would like to be an 8/10 after everything is said and done.

Smallest size for me was also a 14/16 in jr & high school. I was a size 12 for 5 minutes. I would be happy to see 14/16 again.

I have actually decided not to put a number on how much I want to lose and what size I want to be. I guess the reason for this is because I have never been anything but big. I want to feel and be healthy and whatever size and shape that is I will be happy :D

When you feel good & healthy I wanna know how much you lost & what size you are when you feel 100 percent ready to say "look at me now" . That's the best feeling.

6 would be amazing! I'm excited to look good in clothes instead just buying whatever fits.

      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.
