My surgeon didn't set any goals for me. I just want to feel good and be healthy.

My personal thoughts on it? I felt good at 145 but that's still overweight for me (I'm 4'11"- 5' - depends on who's measuring). I'd be happy there, though. Anything lower is just frosting on the cake.

I agree. I have been over 300 #s for as long as I can remember. Even 250 would be amazing! It's getting close. I have lost 15 lbs so far on the liquid diet alone and I still have until thurs to lose more... Thursday is the day my life changes forever....

My Surgeon asked me what my goal weight was and I told him anything below 200. I've only seen the scale say 199 one time in my life and I would be so happy to see that again. That was the time in my life I felt the best physically. He says I should shoot for 180, but I'll be doing a happy dance at 199.9!!

My PT DR agrees with me on being 200/199. Some of us chicks just are large framed. In High School i was 165 and all muscle and still small. As long as I'm healthy, happy, active, and riding my Harley I will be smiling ear to ear.

      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?

      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.
