Im 5'10.5 and have been debating over a goal weight. My doctor won't set one but I want a main goal. So I'm asking what is your weight goal being as tall as you are? I want to look good but not skin and bones. I had set it at 157 but everyone says I will look sick. So I don't know now.

I am 5'10. Set goal weight of 170. People/ friends will always say you look sickly as you loose weight. I have dieted my entire life and got down to 190 two years ago. Everyone at work said I looked so sick! I have a new outlook this time and have no willingness to listen to anyone not possitive. They will just have to get use to the new you!

I'm 5'10". My Dr. thinks 175 is a good weight. I'm shooting for 160 so if I gain some back it will even out. I was 138 at my thinnest and stayed between 150-165 for about 15 years. 138 was ridiculous but at 160 I was a size eight and felt great. Right now I can't even imagine being in onederland! I think a lot depends on body type, too. I have broad shoulders and hips and really am "big boned " so even at 140 I was a size six. I'll be happy if I stay in the 175 range and my cholesterol and triglycerides come down.

Thank you so much for your responses. It has helped a lot. I've learned not to listen to everyone but its weird seeing bones I haven't seen in many years and then people point out I am getting to boney. I'm at 214 and when you tell people that I still have a ways to go yet they look at you like you're nuts. Lol. I can't even remember the last time I was this small and yet I will only get smaller.

I'm 5'10" my doctor and I didn't set a goal weight. At this point I would like to get down to 200 and see how I feel. If 180 or 190 or lower is right I'll decide then. I am not a small person at all, wide shoulders and hips so don't want to go too low.

At 5'10.5 you'd be at a healthy BMI from about 142-175....seriously 142 at your height sounds TINY!!!!!!

Being 5'9" my goal is 170-175. I was a size 10/11 last time I was that small. Big boned, wide shoulders and hips here too. I would not be upset if I end up at 160-165 though. Who knows, maybe I will end up at the low end of the charts for my height.

When I lost weight year ago and was 198 size 12/14 people said I look to thin

I'm so glad you asked this question! I'm 5'11 and my doctor did not give me a goal weight either. He simply said I would level out at the weight my body needed to be at. I am just over one year post OP and I am down to 208lbs. I'd like to be about 180lbs I think.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
