5 months post-op with pics trying to decide on final goal



Recommended Posts

So I was a lap band revision, and had to have emergency surgery. I was never given a "goal weight". I have lost 61 pounds since my revision, and 98 pounds from the time I was banded in 2005. My original goal was 135, and I am currently at 146-148. I'm thinking of moving my goal to 125. I'm 5'5 and currently wear a size 10 or 12 depending on the brand and fit. The first pic was before my revision, taken June 2012, the second (black top) was taken about 6 weeks postop, June 2013. And the last few were taken yesterday at my cousin's wedding. And that is my beautiful 12 year old daughter with me. She caught the bouquet.

Whatever feels healthy. I am 5'4". When I was 18, I weighed 108, but I was anorexic and looked it. My healthiest happiest weight was 130-135. At 235 this past summer, it was time to take it back down. So, my ultimate goal is 145, now that I am over 60 years old, but I would not complain about 130 again.
